Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier3
Community-edited reference page, tier 3. Used for State Shinto's establishment, naming the 1868 informal start against the 1900 formal-system scholarly dating as two different things the same phrase can mean, rather than picking one silently. NotesUsed for Shinto's own homeland establishment as a state institution under the Meiji government.
