An unrecorded history of the Japanese immigrant Tenrikyo Mission in Brazil, providing valuable information on many Tenrikyo churches across the country. Tenrikyo was a new Japanese religion founded in the 19th century in Japan by Nakayama Miki, and spread to Hawaii, Brazil, and other regions where Japanese immigrants moved over the course of the first few decades of the 20th century. The photographic plates contain portraits of some mission members, views of churches, scenes from church life, and more. The text is almost wholly in Japanese save for occasional listings of Spanish names and other information. Not reported in OCLC.
