History
The Taikyo Institute was established in 1872[3] with the aim of training kyōdo shōku or religious teachers. This was because the Missionary Office and Department of Divinities were not successful in their national indoctrination objectives.[4] The institute was originally intended as a joint organization between Shinto and Buddhism, but eventually became completely dominated by Shinto.
On January 1, 1875, there was a fire at the Taikyo Institute caused by arson. This caused confusion and led to four Jōdo Shinshū sects announcing informally that they were leaving the Taikyo Institute..[5]
On May 3, 1875, the Great Teaching Institute was disbanded by the Ministry of Religion[6][7] and was replaced by the Bureau of Shinto Affairs[8] and later Shinto Taikyo.[2]
The "Great Teaching" and "Taikyo Proclamation" use the same word, as does "Taikyo" in "Shinto Taikyo".
