Abstract |
This paper focuses on the manga Oyasama monogatari, produced by the new religious movement Tenrikyō on the life of its foundress, Nakayama Miki, otherwise known as Oyasama. In particular, it draws att...ention to Nakayama’s life as the Divine Model (Hinagata) to be followed, and how her figure as a divine being is represented in the manga in an attempt to create a closer connection between her and Tenrikyō’s members. The paper analyzes the manga in relation to the group’s doctrine as expounded in two of the group’s major scriptures, the Tenrikyō kyōten (The Doctrine of Tenrikyō)and the Ofudesaki (Tip of the Divine Writing Brush).show more
