Ueda Naraito

was a Japanese religious figure in the Tenrikyo religion. In 1907, she was designated as the successor to Iburi Izō, the spiritual leader or Honseki (本席, ) of Tenrikyo.

Life Ueda Naraito was born on February 23, 1863 in Sonowara Village (園原村), Yamabe County (now Sonohara-cho 園原町 in Tenri). Her father was Ueda Kasuke (上田嘉助, later known as Ueda Kajiro 上田嘉治郎), and her mother was Ueda Taki (上田たき). Ueda Naraito was their fourth daughter. However, she became ill and suffered from gastrointestinal illness in 1917. In 1918 she reportedly became insane and was unable to fulfill her duties, so the Honseki position ended with Iburi. Nakayama Tamae (中山たまへ), the granddaughter of Nakayama Miki and wife of Shinbashira Nakayama Shinnosuke, took over Ueda's roles in March 1918.

Ueda died on January 12, 1937 at the age of 73.

Family In 1907, Ueda Naraito married Kajimoto Michi. They had two children, Yoshinaru in 1908 and Takie in 1910. Takie married Uno Haruyoshi in 1936.

Ueda Naraito's youngest sibling, Narajirō (楢治郎), married Iburi Izō's daughter Yoshie (よしゑ) and established the Nagao (永尾) family.
