Tenri Kami no Uchiake Basho (Japanese:天理神の打開場所) was aTenrikyo-basedshinshūkyō (Japanese new religion). Among the religious traditions derived from Tenrikyo, it is one of the pre-1951Religious Corporation Law traditions that were generally unknown to the Japanese public at that time. However, Tenri Kami no Uchiake Basho gave influence to the creation of another Tenrikyo-influenced religious tradition calledTenri Kami no Kuchiake Basho (天理神之口明場所),[n 1][1] in which its legacy is more significant than theoriginal Tenri Kami no Uchiake Basho.
The name, Tenri Kami no Uchiake Basho, can be translated asthe place where the truth of the kami/god of Tenri (heavenly principle) is conveyed from a verse inOfudesaki,[2] with one of the phrases that bears the connotation oftruth-conveying originally expressed asuchiwake inHiragana. The element,Uchiake, is a native Japanese reading[1] and the original verb can reasonably be a dialectal or uncommon reading of a verb,buchiakeru (打ち開ける)[3] in which it meansto speak frankly orto open one's heart with the additional religious context of expressing the act of conveying to the receivers (adherents) with ideas or words. The Japanese particle,no (の), in the name can be replaced with the kanji,之,[n 2] without changing the pronunciation.
It was founded in 1934 by the foundress, Watanabe Yoso (渡辺ヨソ), who had been a follower ofTenri Sanrinkō. Her religious title was Masako Kanrodai (政子甘露台),[4][5] in which it denoted the reverence of the status of her being ahuman being who experienced divine revelation (tenkeisha). Watanabe Yoso's own religious organization became active right before the closure and the eventual revival of Tenri Sanrinkō by Katsu Hisano (勝ヒサノ) that occurred in 1935.[6]
Not much about this religious organization is known possibly due to the very short duration of activity and possibly due to the sparse amount of documentation about its foundress, doctrine, and its history during its existence. Tenri Kami no Uchiake Basho was a religious organization that was not mentioned in the late 1930s pertaining to the violation of thePeace Preservation Law, asHonmichi (then calledTenri Hondō),Tenri Kami no Kuchiake Basho, Tenri Sanrinkō, and Sanri Sanfukugen (三理三腹元) were the four prominent Tenrikyo-based organizations that faced negative consequences.[7]
A book that slightly covers the background history of Tenri Kami no Uchiake Basho was published in 2019.[8] However, the book mainly discusses its other spin-off new religion, Tenri Kami no Uchiwake Basho (天理神之打分場所).[n 3]
The following two religious organizations were founded by former Tenri Kami no Uchiake Basho followers.
Tenri Kami no Kuchiake Basho is the ancestral religious organization of the currently active religionsŌkanmichi (おうかんみち) andKanrodai Reiri Shidōkai (甘露台霊理斯道会), both of which are headquartered inTochigi Prefecture,[n 5] in addition toKanrodai that is based inTokyo.
Its sister sects,Kami Ichijokyo[n 6] andSekai Shindokyo are considered to be the surviving successors of Tenri Sanrinkō that are active today.

to speak frankly, to open one's heart,
さらに自らが甘露台であると称えるようになった。こうして昭和八年三月、勝は大阪の枚方町で天理三輪講を創設した。その後、勝ヒサノは天理教と「ほんみち」との合併を実現させようと考えるようになり、昭和十年五月、天理三輪講を解散し、天理教に戻ったが、彼女の願いは無視され、二ヵ月後に天理教から退転し、天理三輪講を再建したのである。[Even further, (Katsu Hisano) was praised as the kanrodai (spiritual title). Due to this, she established Tenri Sanrinkō in Hirakata-chō (today's western section of Hirakata), Osaka on March 1933. Then afterwards, she sought to materialize the plan of merging Tenrikyo and 'Honmichi' as one, later dissolved Tenri Sanrinkō on May 1935, but her request was declined, leaving Tenrikyo after two months, then re-established Tenri Sanrinkō.]
…一九三五年から三九年にかけて、…「天理本道」（検挙三七四名、起訴二三七名）、「天理神之口明場所」（検挙一四名、起訴六名）、「天理三輪講」（検挙一三名、起訴九名）、「三理三腹元」（検挙一八名、起訴一〇名）…と、それぞれ不敬事件（…天理教系四派は、治安維持法違反ならびに不敬事件・結社禁止）として検挙された。[… from 1935 to 1939 … 'Tenri Hondo [Honmichi]' (374 members prosecuted, 237 indicted), 'Tenri Kami no Kuchiake Basho' (14 members prosecuted, 6 indicted), 'Tenri Sanrinkō' (13 members prosecuted, 9 indicted), 'Sanri Sanfukugen' (18 members prosecuted, 10 indicted) … each organization with lèse-majesté incidents (… four Tenrikyo-based sects violated the Peace Preservation Law along with in charge of lèse-majesté and banned from congregation) was prosecuted.]
