Their primary industries are farming and ranching. The movement began in 1956, when Miyozo Yamagishi and a group of his followers pooled their resources. In 2008, the group had about 1,200 members in Japan. The group also has communities in Australia, Brazil, Thailand, South Korea, Switzerland and the United States.
