Taikyo Proclamation


The Proclamation of the Great Doctrine (大教宣布, Taikyō senpu) was a proclamation by Emperor Meiji on January 3, 1870.

Three Great Teachings

The proclamation had three great teachings, also known as the Great Doctrine, or the Taikyo.

  1. respect for the gods, love of country;
  2. making clear the principles of Heaven and the Way of Man;
  3. reverence for the emperor and obedience to the will of the court.

The Taikyo Institute was founded to promote these teachings
