Hi all
Some fellow researchers may be interested in this link:
http://www.archive.org/stream/japanchristian19unknuoft/japanchristian19unknuoft_djvu.txt
It is the full text (although strangely formatted in places!) of the Japanese Christan Yearbook for 1920.
It includes some information about Shinto-based sects that were around then (i.e. in Usui's time) including Oomoto and Taireido and lists several books which were commentaries about/against them.
It also gives an idea about how popular Christanity was becoming in Japan.
It is quite a large document so I suggest looking through the Table of Contents and/or using the search function in your browser.
