Izumo-taishakyo (出雲大社教, Izumo taishakyō, in Japanese Izumo Ooyashirokyō[1]) is a Japanese Shinto grouping. It was established by Senge Takatomi (1845–1918), the 80th head priest of Izumo-taisha in 1882, as one of the original thirteen sects of Kyoha Shintō Rengokai (Association of Sectarian Shinto), during the Meiji era in Shimane Prefecture.[2][3]
