Assessment
Reliability Tier
3
Tier three: an independent blog, not itself an official body, but used here only as a relay of the figure it names as belonging to the Agency for Cultural Affairs' annual Religious Yearbook, Japan's official government religious-statistics compilation, a checkable underlying primary rather than the blog author's own opinion.
