Nakayama Miki, the wife of a merchant, founded a sect of [[Shinto]] called ''[[Tenrikyo|Tenrikyô]]'' in [[1838]]. Tenrikyô became popular in particular during the uncertainty of the [[Bakumatsu Period]]. Miki saw the coming changes as a religious sign, however the sect was marginalized by the government after the [[Meiji Restoration]].
