The following is a bulleted summary of Onisaburo's revelations regarding the post-war future of Japan and the world. These were delivered during his stay at Yoshioka Hot Springs in Tottori Prefecture from December 10, Showa 20 (1945) through January 6, Showa 21 (1946).

Is the Third Omoto Incident a model of Russia's invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022 and beyond?

If this were the case, the Russo-Ukrainian conflict and its ramifications could continue for 2435 days, or about 6 years and 8 months because the rebirth of the Aizen-en and the ensuing resurrection of Onisaburo's teachings took exactly the same 2435 days.

Another possibility might be that Kyotaro Deguchi could be a model of Russian President Putin, and that Ryudo Usami could be a model of Putin's successor(s), in which case Putin's successor(s) could be even more brutal than Putin, just as Usami was more brutal than Kyotaro.

Simply add 2,435 days to February 24, 2022, you will get October, 2028.
If the current Japanese Emperor still reigns over Japan in 2028, then the year 2028 will correspond to the imperial year of Reiwa 10.

October (10th month), Reiwa 10 (2028) (Note: Two 10's indicate auspiciousness)
Incidentally, Reiwa 10 (2028) marks the centenary (100th anniversary) of Onisaburo's declaration of his earthly descent as Miroku no Okami manifested, which took place on March (3th month) 3, Showa 3 (1928), with three 3's indicating auspiciousness.

"10th year of a particular imperial era" has had a great significance in the history of Omoto, as listed below:

After the end of WWII in 1945, Onisaburo revealed the Kami's intention to fight with the Soviet Union in the future. This will probably include the current Russian Federation. (Click here for Onisaburo's Revelations at Yoshioka Hot Springs)

The epicenter of the Third Omoto Incident in Showa 55 (1980) was Takeda, Hyogo Province, north of Kobe or Osaka. (See upper map below)

Onisaburo says that Japan is a miniature model of the world's major continents, with the biggest island of Honshu corresponding to Eurasia.

He further indicates that the Osaka Bay is a smaller version of the Black Sea. (See lower map below)


The Osaka Bay = the Black Sea
(Incidentally, Lake Biwa = the Caspian Sea)






While this may be just a coincidence, Takeda and Kiev appear to be closely located to each other.

When the Second Omoto Incident was finally settled in his favor, Onisaburo said as follows:

"This is not the end of the Omoto Incident. There are supposed to be three Omoto Incidents. They constitute the pine-bamboo-plum incidents. The Third Incident is take-da, take-da (bamboo, bamboo)."

The part take-da is Onisaburo's pun on the words take-da (It's bamboo) and Takeda (place name). Onisaburo let us know the type and site of the Third Omoto Incident as follows:

• Type: Something that happens within Omoto.
  
  Note: Bamboo is uchi wa kara (hollow inside). Uchi wa kara can also mean "from within" or "from among members of the same family."
  
  
• Site: Takeda.
  
  Note: Literally "bamboo rice field," Takeda is a common Japanese place name.

As aptly prophesied, the Third Omoto Incident resulted from issues about Omoto's Takeda Chapter in Hyogo Prefecture. The authoritarian Omoto headquarters, which disregarded the teachings of Nao and Onisaburo Deguchi as a thing of the past and used dirty tricks to enable Kyotaro Deguchi to assume the head of the religious group, attempted to create their major influence-wielding church in Takeda. Their hard-line approach was met with fierce opposition from Omoto members, especially anti-Kyotaro Deguchi members, pro-Eiji Deguchi members and like-minded members who stood up to reform the degenerate leadership (or rather "dictatorship").

Since pine, bamboo and plum are considered auspicious symbols in Japan, the three Omoto Incidents were probably felicitous events at least in the eye of the Kami in that they promoted the divine work of remodeling the world.

Omoto Incident	Year	Site	Symbol	Type
First	Feb. 12, Taisho 10 (1921)	Umeda, Osaka Note: Ume as in Umeda means "plum."	Plum	Religious persecution of Omoto by imperial Japanese government
Second	Dec. 8, Showa 10 (1935)	Matsue, Shimane Note: Matsu as in Matsue means "pine."	Pine	Religious persecution of Omoto by imperial Japanese government
Third	Showa 55 (1980)	Takeda, Hyogo Note: Take as in Takeda means "bamboo."	Bamboo	Internal conflict of Omoto, resulting in three different groups

The following is a broad overview of the Third Omoto Incident.
