[1] Taniguchi began studying English literature at the Waseda University, Tokyo.

In 1929, after much study and contemplation, he reported having received a divine revelation followed by the healing of his daughter.

This led in 1930 to the creation of a magazine, Seicho-no-Ie ("home of infinite life, wisdom, and abundance").

In 1952, he co-authored a book with Fenwicke Holmes titled The Science of Faith.

[2] Taniguchi died in a Nagasaki hospital on June 17, 1985, at the age of 91.
