Reliability Tier3
Tier 3, the tier this project has consistently used for Wikipedia (matching Assemblies Of God USA, Jehovah's Witnesses and Blood Transfusions, and both Shinto Directive and State Shinto, already live). Describes the 1871-1873 Meiji-era ujiko registration requirement and notes a scholarly view that it paralleled the Buddhist danka temple registration system, without itself detailing money changing hands; used here for the historical registration framing and read alongside a second, descriptive source for the practical shape of shrine support.
