Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier2
Reliability tier 2: a reference aggregator's entry on the movement, a secondary compiled source for a single membership figure rather than a primary institutional record. NotesA tertiary reference aggregator rather than an independent survey; used here only for the single dated 2002 figure it states, which it attributes to the movement's own official count within Japan.
