Ichiro Nakamura (died 1999), was the late director of the Society of Johrei, Kyoto, Japan.

Nakamura inherited and developed Rev. Mokichi Okada's (1882–1955) teaching on the religious school of Church of World Messianity. Okada claimed to have received a special revelation from God in 1926, leading him to found a new religion in 1935 to spread the teachings.

The Mokichi Okada Association (MOA) was established in 1980 to continue his work "toward the creation of a new civilization to be undertaken without confining Okada's principles and their implementation within a religious framework". Much of Okada's extensive art collection is now housed in the MOA Museum of Art in Atami, Japan.

The aim of Church of World Messianity is to help to establish the conditions for a Paradise on Earth by eliminating the three great tragedies: illness, poverty and conflict. The principal activities are the Johrei, appreciation of the Beauty and natural farming.
