Tenrikyo Doyusha was founded on August 4, 1891, following a direction from spiritual leader Iburi Izō requesting that "a periodical should be published under the auspices of the Tenrikyo Church."[1] The periodical Michi no tomo (みちのとも "Friends of the Path") was first published in December 28 of the same year.[2] During the Meiji and Taisho periods, Michi no tomo was the only periodical issued by Tenrikyo Doyusha.[3]
On November 18, 1930, the first issue of Tenri Jiho (天理時報 "Tenri Times") was published by Tenri Central Library as a commemorative issue celebrating the opening of the library. For several months Tenri Jiho was simply a bulletin for the library, but on July 2, 1931, the responsibility of its publication was transferred to Tenrikyo Doyusha, where it has since taken a newspaper format.[4]
