Ofudesaki: The Tip of the Writing Brush was written by Nakayama Miki. Written some time between 1869-1882, it is a 17 part collection of poems, revered by the Tenrikyo religion as their main scripture. It contains a collection of poems intended to return the reader's mind to its original pristine condition. It has only recently become available, esspecially in English, as it was suppressed during World War II, while Tenriism was made into a Shinto sect.
