Kurozumi Munetada (1780–1850) was a Shinto priest in Bizen Province (Okayama) who founded Kurozumikyo, one of the earliest and most influential Shinto-based new religious movements in Japan. Following a near-death illness, he had a mystical experience on the winter solstice of 1814 in which he believed his soul merged with Amaterasu. He developed a positive, life-affirming theology centered on gratitude and divine union.
Kurozumikyo grew to hundreds of thousands of followers during the Edo and Meiji periods. He is enshrined at Munetada Jinja in Okayama.
