17:2 If you were to ask what the true intention of the path is, it is to purify people’s minds with the Kanrodai alone. *Note: The Kanrodai was first mentioned in 1869 in Ofudesaki Part 02 (Refer to 2:39). Following this, Oyasama had Izo Iburi build a model in 1873. Further, the identification of the Jiba for the Kanrodai took place on the lunar calendar date of 5/26/1875. Its detailed measurements were first specified in Ofudesaki Part 09 (Refer to Part 9, verses 49–64). Construction of a stone Kanrodai began in 1881 and two sections were made, but were confiscated by the police on May 12, 1882. Following this, the Jiba was marked by a pile of pebbles until 1888. In 1888, a Kanrodai of two sections made from wooden boards marked the Jiba. A wooden model of the Kanrodai as seen at present was first built October 1934. A stone Kanrodai according to God’s intention will be built once the minds of the people in the entire world are purified.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 245–6 二、この道の真意はどういう事であるというと、かんろだい一条によって人々の心を澄ます事である。 註　かんろだいについては、先ず明治二年の「おふでさき」第二号に現れ（第二号三九参照）次いて、明治六年飯降伊蔵に命じてその模型をお作らせになり、更に、明治八年陰暦五月二十六日かんろだいのぢば定めを行われ、「おふでさき」第九号に於いて詳細に寸法をお示し下され（第九号四七～六四中参照）、降って明治十四年から石造でその建設に着手せられ二段まで出来たが、翌明治十五年陽暦五月十二日警官が来て、これを没収して行った。その後は、明治二十一年に到る間、ぢばの場所には小石が積まれあった。明治二十一年に到って、板張りの二段によって、ぢばを示して、昭和九年十月、現在の木造雛形かんろだい建設に到っている。やがて、世界一列の人の心を澄ました上で、石造で神意通りのかんろだいが建設される。
