History
Aida, a woman who had converted to Tenrikyo to 1923 and then to Honmichi in 1925, had a divine experience when on March 13, 1938, Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto (月読之命) and Kuni-Sazuchi-no-Mikoto (国狭土之命) possessed Aida Hide's body. On December 23, 1942, 10 more deities descended into Aida Hide's body. Sekai Shindokyo was subsequently founded in 1944.[3]
In 1946, Aida Hide moved the religion's headquarters to Toyokawa. On July 6, 1948, Sekai Shindokyo was officially incorporated under the Japan's post-war Religious Corporations Law. The main temple, founder's hall, and office were completed in 1967. Aida Hide died on May 24, 1973.[4]
