Happoism

Happoism (八方道) is a denomination, or path, of Michi. It is also known as Happomichi or Eight Directions Michi. Happoism is the main form of Michi practiced outside of Yamatai, and is sometimes considered a "new religion". There are also Happo adherents in Yamatai, comprising about 5% of the Michi adherent population in Yamatai.

Happoism mainly differs from most of the other Michi Paths by holding a progressive, globalist worldview, markedly downplaying the Yamatai-centric cultural elements of Michi and promoting the concept of the Harmonious Society in the context of world peace and cross-cultural unity. The central idea behind Happo is that the events described in the Sashizuki are mainly allegorical and do not apply exclusively to Yamatai, besides the figure of Himiko.
