Figures

Associated figures

Gods and people named with this place — as its founders, or in their own records.

What this means

Founders are named by this place's own record, and a founding is an attribution, often contested. The rest are read from the other end, computed from their records rather than this one. Being named with a place is not being documented there in any given year.

Site history & evidence

What is documented here

Each kind of evidence on its own row, because they do not add up.

Evidence On record What it shows
Site date Dated from 8th century CE On the timeline A date for the site as recorded — not the start of worship, and not a floor on the tradition here.
Location Recorded to the site On the atlas A coordinate for the place. It locates the site; it does not draw its extent.
Dated activity None recorded A pin is a place, not an event. What happened at Nikkō-shi, and when, is a separate claim, and this import holds none: it carries site locations, not dated activity.

Nearby

Places nearby

The nearest this collection holds, measured between recorded coordinates.

What this means

Computed from coordinates, not stated by any source. Nearness is geometry, not a connection: two sites a kilometre apart may never have shared a worshipper, a tradition or a century. Where either coordinate is recorded only to a district, the distance is rounded and says “about”.

Connections

How Nikkō-shi connects

Grouped by the kind of relationship, because a successor is not a son and a shared symbol is not an influence.

Succession in office 5

What this means

Who held an office after whom. Not parentage, not discipleship, and not universally recognised — offices are contested.

Does not imply parentage · discipleship · an explanation of why the succession happened
