first president of Japanese Daoyuan was Deguchi Onisaburo (1871–1948), the cofounder of the Oomoto (大本 "Great Source") Shinto sect. Other members included Ueshiba Morihei (1883–1969), founder of the Aikido style of martial arts; Okada Mokichi (1882–1955), who in 1955 founded the Church of World Messianity; Nakano Yonosuke (1887–1974), founder in 1949 of the Ananai sect of Oomoto; and Goi Masahisa, founder of the White Light sect. After 1949 Suppressed by the communist regime after 1949, Guiyidao has persisted as an underground religion in the People's Republic of China. Branches of the sect are present in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Canada, and the United States of America.

In addition, it had offices in Paris, London, and Tokyo and professors of Esperanto within its membership. Perhaps the best reported event of its history was its role in the Nanking Massacre. The rampage of the occupying Japanese forces through the city left thousands of bodies in the streets, and the Red Swastika stepped in to assist in burials. Records of these activities from the Red Swastika have provided important primary resources for research into the scale of the atrocity and the location of mass graves. Although it was suppressed during the Maoist rule in mainland China, the Red Swastika continues today as a religious organization focused on charity. It has branches in areas of the Chinese diaspora, with headquarters in Taiwan. Besides charity work, the Red Swastika runs two schools in Hong Kong (Tuen Mun
