Taniguchi began studying
English literature at the
Waseda University, Tokyo. In parallel, he also studied the works of
Fenwicke Holmes, and subsequently translated Holmes' book,
The Law of Mind in Action into Japanese. Taniguchi also became a follower of
Oomoto, which was led by
Onisaburo Deguchi. In 1929, after much study and contemplation, he reported having received a
divine revelation followed by the healing of his daughter. This led in 1930 to the creation of a magazine,
Seicho-No-Ie ("home of infinite life, wisdom, and abundance"). The movement grew during the 1930s, although it was suppressed during
World War II. In 1952, he co-authored a book with
Fenwicke Holmes titled
The Science of Faith. Taniguchi died in a
Nagasaki hospital on June 17, 1985, at the age of 91. ==Bibliography==
