Shinto Taiseikyo (神道大成教) is one of the thirteen Shinto sects.[1][2][user-generated source][3] It was founded by Hirayama Seisai (1815–1890)[1] and is considered a form of Confucian Shinto.[1][4][5]
Hirayama Seisai was involved in diplomatic negotiations as a senior vassal of the Shogunate at the end of the Edo period.[6][7] At the beginning of the Meiji Restoration, he turned to Shinto.[2][user-generated source] He became a Shinto teacher in 1872, and rallied for independence as a Shinto Sect in 1879, which was gained in 1882.[8][9][2][user-generated source][10] During his tenure as president, Mitake-kyo also gained independence.[8]
After World War II, it became independent from the Sect Shinto federation alongside Tenrikyo.[11] Still, in 1995, the president attended a Sect Shinto event the "100th Anniversary of the Formation of the Federation of Shinto Churches".[12]
