=Nakayama Shinnosuke (中山眞之亮)=

初代真柱. 慶応２年（１８６６）５月７日（陽暦６月１９日）、梶本惣治郎と教祖（おやさま）の三女おはるの三男として、大和国添上郡櫟本村（現、天理市櫟本町）で生まれた.


 * First Shinbashira. On Keio 2, 5th month, 7th day (June 19th, 1866), as the third son of Kajimoto Sōjirō and Oyasama's third daughter Oharu, [Nakayama Shinnosuke] was born in Ichinomoto Village, Soekami County, Yamato Province (present-day Ichinomoto District, Tenri City).

教祖は、おはる懐妊中より、「おはるには、前川の父の魂を宿し込んだ. しんばしらの眞之亮やで」と名前までつけ、眞之亮誕生後は絶えずお屋敷へ引き寄せ、将来「道のしんばしら」となるべく導いた.


 * While Oharu was pregnant, Oyasama said, "I put the soul of Father Maegawa into Oharu. He will be Shinnosuke the Shinbashira." After Shinnosuke was born, he would be constantly drawn to the Residence and would in the future lead firmly as the "central pillar of the path."

なお、教祖の命名ながら明治初年奈良県令の亮、衞門の廃止の布令により新治郎と改め、公的な書類は新治郎を用いたが、本人は眞之亮を通用した.


 * Further, as Oyasama was naming Shinnosuke during the first year of Meiji in Nara Prefecture, a proclamation was made to abolish "亮" and "衞門" in names, so his name was changed to Shinjirō. Though in public documents Shinjirō was used, he himself passed as Shinnosuke.
