Wikipedia's own article on Masaharu Taniguchi, founder of Seicho-no-Ie, is a tertiary encyclopedic source, cited here because the existing Oxford Handbook citation is a thematic chapter on new religious movements broadly, and its coverage of this specific biographical detail could not be confirmed. Its strength is that it reliably records his standard biographical facts. Its limit is the ordinary one for a crowd edited encyclopedia entry: fine for biography, not a substitute for dedicated scholarship on Seicho-no-Ie.
