Wikipedia's article on Oto-hime is a community edited reference page rather than a peer reviewed publication. It is reliable for a general overview of her role in Japanese folklore, particularly the Urashima Taro legend, and less reliable for evaluating regional variation in how the figure is told. Use it for basic identification; a claim about a specific regional telling benefits from a dedicated folklore study.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability TierWikipedia's article on Oto-hime, the sea deity's daughter of Japanese folklore best known from the Urashima Taro legend, the lower tier reflecting that it is a crowd sourced, not independently peer reviewed encyclopedia entry, useful for a general overview rather than a substitute for a dedicated study of Japanese folklore. NotesCrowd-sourced tertiary reference. Used here only for the narrow, checkable scholarly reading that Otohime of the Urashima Taro folktale is modeled on Toyotama-hime, a literary motif claim rather than any doctrinal one. 1 Citation
