thumb|right|Ōnishi Aijirō with his wife To'o in October 1904 while he was a Tenrikyo missionary in Yamaguchi Prefecture Ōnishi Aijirō (1881–1958) was the founder of the Honmichi religion in Japan. Quotes それは、恐ろしい蔭の力を以て、弓き廻されるような感じで、不可抗力と言うべきで、甘露台様御自身、意識して行動せられたのでは無かったのである。宵から夜半まで無我夢中に歩き廻られて、突然、甘露台様が立ち止まられた。そして、座敷の中央へ出られた時、「此処は甘露台や」と思われた。 [Aijirō] was not aware of his movements. It was as if he was being pulled by a fearsome and shadowy force; or what can be described as an irresistible power. He kept walking unconsciously in a circle from the early evening to the middle of the night. Suddenly, he came to a halt. He then walked to the center of the room and thought to himself, "This is where the Kanrodai stands."
