Omoto Shinto Rengokai (大本信徒連合会) is a Shintoist movement and one of Japan's "new religions". Ōmoto (大本 Ōmoto, Great Source, or Great Origin), also known as Ōmoto-kyo (大本教 Ōmoto-kyō), is a religion founded in 1892 by Deguchi Nao (1836–1918). The spiritual leaders of the movement have predominantly been women; however, Deguchi Onisaburō (1871–1948) has been considered an important figure in Omoto as a seishi (spiritual teacher). The movement had been suppressed before 1945. Since 2001, the movement has been guided by its fifth leader, Kurenai Deguchi.
