Kanrodai

The Kanrodai (甘露台 / かんろだい) ('stand for the heavenly dew', or lit.'sweet dew platform') is a sacred entity in Tenrikyo and Tenrikyo-derived Japanese new religions, including (but not limited to) Honmichi, Honbushin, Kami Ichijo, and Daehan Cheolligyo. While Tenrikyo considers the Kanrodai to be a physical pillar, Honmichi gives a new interpretation in which the Kanrodai is embodied as a living person.[1] Honbushin recognizes a Kanrodai on Kamiyama, a mountain in Okayama, as well as a human Kanrodai as its founder Ōnishi Tama.

In Tenrikyo, Honmichi, and Honbushin, due to the sacrosanct nature of the kanrodai, photographing the kanrodai is prohibited.
