Following an oracle, he became a subordinate of the founder of the Omoto religion, Nao Deguchi in Ayabe, in the northern part of Kyoto prefecture, and together taught as leaders to salvation. Subsequently, he became the second teacher. Married Sumiko (the youngest child), and worked hard to further develop the Omoto religion as a psychic.
