Shōroku Shintō Yamatoyama (松緑神道大和山) is a Shintō-derived religious movement headquartered in the town of HiranaiinAomori Prefecture, Japan.
Shōroku Shintō Yamatoyama originates from Tazawa Seishirō's dedication of a shrine in 1919 to a Yama-no-Kami after he witnessed extraordinary astronomical phenomena and heard divine voices; however, he officially began the organization in January 1930. It established its headquarters at an isolated tract of land in the mountains of Hiranai in 1969.[1] By 1999 the sect had garnered over 60 thousand adherents, primarily from Hokkaido and the Tōhoku region.[2]
A private school run by the movement gained national attention for its use of the deprecated Imperial Rescript on Education in its curriculum.[3] A part of the group's headquarters burned down on 21 March 2021.[4][5]
Shōroku Shintō Yamatoyama is a Shintō-derived religious movement that has been strongly influenced by Oomoto and eschatological thoughts inspired potentially inspired from Augustinianism.[1][2]
Seichirō's eschatological beliefs and Yasusaburō's contact with Christian theology, as taught by Uchimura Kanzō, greatly influenced the Yamatomaya's doctrine, codified in the writings of Yasusaburō in the postwar period. The less than optimistic—one could say Augustinian—view of human nature alluded to above gives us a clear example of these influences.
