Tenri Kami no Kuchiake Basho (Japanese: 天理神之口明場所) was a Tenrikyo-based shinshūkyō (Japanese new religion) that became formally independent in 1937 under its founder, Yamada Umejirō (山田梅次郎). Tenri Kami no Kuchiake Basho is a Japanese phrase that means place of origin of the god of Tenri [principle of heaven] in English. It is commonly treated as one of handful of sects that became separated from Tenri Sanrinkō, such as Kami Ichijokyo and Sekai Shindokyo, due to the very short duration of existence of the intermediatory sect, Tenri Kami no Uchiake Basho.
