Iburi Izō (Japanese: 飯降伊蔵, 1833 – 1907) was the second spiritual leader of the Tenrikyo religion. He is also known as the Honseki (本席, lit. 'Main Seat'). After the death of Nakayama Miki (Oyasama) in 1887, he was the spiritual leader while Oyasama's son Nakayama Shinnosuke became the administrative leader, the Shinbashira. Having received the "grant of speech" from Oyasama, Iburi dictated the Osashizu, additional divinely inspired instructions on the creation and maintenance of a Tenrikyo community.
