Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
3
Reliability tier 3: a continuously community-edited tertiary reference with no formal peer review process, suitable for citable, checkable factual claims but not treated as authoritative on genuinely contested points.
Notes
Wikipedia's article on the chozuya, consulted 2026-08-13. Useful here for temizu developing as an abbreviation of misogi, Ise Shrine's retention of the fuller river practice, and the COVID-19 era removal of the shared dipper and mouth-rinsing instruction at many shrines.
