"Makuya" is the Japanese equivalent of the Hebrew word משכן mishkan, which refers to the Tabernacle, the portable shrine wherein God spoke to humans in Exodus 29:42–43. The term captures the basic religious orientation of the Makuyas, who emphasize the significance of the personal encounter with the divine presence in everyday life. This experience, according to the group's theology, must not be substituted by creeds or a religious institution—hence, the idea of the "portable" shrine, the Tabernacle.
