Wikipedia description:

Tenshō Kōtai Jingūkyō (Japanese 天照皇大神宮教) is a Japanese new religious movement which emerged from Shinto. It was established by Sayo Kitamura (北村 サヨ) (1900–1967), with activities beginning in 1945. The movement includes 450,000 members. Kitamura claimed possession by Amaterasu under the title Tenshō-Kōtaijin. Its headquarters are in Tabuse (田布施町, Tabuse-chō), a town in the district of Kumage District, Yamaguchi, Japan. Followers practice a dance called muga no mai (無我の舞, "Dance of the non-self" or "Dance of the non-ego"), which is why the religion is called the "dancing religion" (踊る宗教, Odoru shūkyō).
