 Mokichi Okada (1882-1955) Mokichi Okada was born in the old commercial section of Tokyo. He pursued a career in art and business until, in mid-life, a series of revelations from God called him to a spiritual mission. He brought Johrei, the divine gift of healing light, to the world and urged that all people return to God's path. He also taught about the construction of Paradise on Earth.
A great spiritual leader, Mr. Okada was also an accomplished painter, calligrapher and poet. He always emphasized the importance of beauty in human life. His art collection forms the core of one of the finest museums in Japan.

TEACHING I don't think there ever has been or is any religion which has put or now puts more stress on art than we do. I say this because our ultimate goal, which is paraside on earth, is a world completely free from disease, poverty and conflict, one where truth, virtue and beauty abound. In that world, man will be living in accord with truth, will wish only to do good deeds and will abhor evil. Everything will be beautiful in every way, so man will naturally come to enjoy and appreciate all forms of art. The world will be one in which life itself is art, with culture developed to a tremendous degree. In other words, the New Age will be a world of art. Meishu-sama hoped that people's thoughts, words and deeds would reflect beauty. Through appreciation of fine arts which reflects high sprituallity, one is able to cultivate apiritual beauty whthin himself. In other words, he can form beauty of the heart within. Meishu-sama deeply appreciated and loved art. He has hown us that through beauty, ma's thoughts are cleansed, man's souls are elevated and eventually reach a state of being of a person in paradise. Live under God in peace and love.
