Facts
Assessment
Reliability TierReliability tier 3: a Wikipedia entry, written and revised by unnamed volunteer editors, suited to an uncontested, easily checked point about a folk observance rather than a disputed claim. NotesCrowd-sourced tertiary reference. Used here only for the narrow historical fact that the Edo-period scholar Yamazaki Ansai built a Shintoistic Koshin cult centered on Sarutahiko on the strength of the shared word saru, a specific and checkable historical claim rather than any doctrinal one. 1 Citation
