Japanese source text 三ぜん世界一同に開く梅の花、艮の金神の世に成りたぞよ。梅で開いて松で治める、神国の世になりたぞよ。日本は神道、神が構わな行けぬ国であるぞよ。外国は獣類の世、強いもの勝ちの、悪魔ばかりの国であるぞよ。日本も獣の世になりて居るぞよ。外国人にばかされて、尻の毛まで抜かれて居りても、未だ眼が覚めん暗がりの世になりて居るぞよ。是では、国は立ちては行かんから、神が表に現はれて、三千世界の立替へ立直しを致すぞよ。用意を成されよ。この世は全然、新つの世に替へて了ふぞよ。三千世界の大洗濯、大掃除を致して、天下太平に世を治めて、万古末代続く神国の世に致すぞよ。神の申した事は、一分一厘違はんぞよ。毛筋の横巾ほども間違いは無いぞよ。これが違ふたら、神は此の世に居らんぞよ。 New English translation — Rainbow Watch, 2026 Plum blossoms open all at once throughout the three thousand worlds; the age of Ushitora no Konjin has arrived. Opening with the plum and governing with the pine, the age of the divine land has arrived. Japan follows the way of the gods; it is a country that cannot do without divine care. Foreign lands are a world of beasts, countries full of devils where the strong prevail. Japan too has become a world of beasts. Even though foreigners have deceived it and plucked it bare down to the hairs on its backside, it has still not awakened: this has become a world of darkness. The country cannot endure like this, so the deity will come into the open and rebuild and restore the three thousand worlds. Prepare yourselves. I will change this world completely into a new world. I will give the three thousand worlds a great washing and cleaning, govern the world in universal peace, and make it an age of the divine land that lasts through all ages. What the deity has said will not differ by the smallest fraction. There will not be an error even the width of a hair. If this is wrong, there is no deity in this world.
