Rite of Tenrikyo
The seated service.
The Mikagura-uta sung with hand dance — the story of creation swept through in gesture, ending in the joyous sweeping of dust.

Understanding it — context, not catechism: how this rite is held
The seated service is performed daily at Tenrikyo churches and at the Jiba: the Mikagura-uta sung with hand movements, each gesture corresponding to the words, accompanied by nine instruments. The hand dance makes the teaching physical, and it culminates in the sweeping motion representing the clearing of the dust — the doctrine performed rather than recited.
