In 1873 (Meiji 6), he became the Gon-guji (provisional chief priest) of O-gami-yama Shrine. He witnessed the decline of faith and morals in both Shinto and Buddhism during his time in Tokyo on business related to the separation of Shinto and Buddhist practices that arose from the relationship between O-gami-yama Shrine and Daisen-ji Temple. This prompted him to realize the need to study not only Shinto but also Confucianism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Western studies, and he traveled to study. He learned Zen from Koyata Torio. Later, he gained the acquaintance of Kaishu Katsu, Tesshu Yamaoka, and Teishu Takahashi, and with the assistance of Tesshu, he established the "Japan National Religion Daido Society" in 1888 (Meiji 21) with Koyata Torio and Munetake Honjo. He advocated for the establishment of a national religion based on the three paths of Shinto, Confucianism, and Buddhism, and anti-Westernization. Kiyomaru, who became the secretary and chief writer of the Daido Society, gained many supporters through his writings in the journal "Daido Soshi," and the Daido Society became a major force in nationalism. Kiyomaru's writing activities continued until his death at the age of 70, and his vast body of work was compiled into the "Complete Works of Kiyomaru Kawai" (edited by Go Hashimoto, 1931-1933).
