Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range: World Heritage nomination and inscription

This is not a separate work: it is UNESCO's own World Heritage List nomination and inscription record for the Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range, one entry in the same continuously maintained official register this atlas also records as a general source. It descends from that register rather than standing beside it, so citing this entry alongside the general World Heritage List record, or alongside another of its entries, is one institutional voice, not corroboration. Its real limit is the register's own limit: an official designation record produced by the World Heritage Committee for the purpose of recognition and protection, not a scholarly study of Shugendo or the Shinto and Buddhist pilgrimage traditions the site documents. Use it for this site's World Heritage status, its 2004 inscription year and the criteria it was listed under; a claim about the religious practice itself needs a dedicated historical or religious studies source.
