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 Attested from 691 CE On the timeline Its earliest surviving record: a floor, not a founding. A date for the site as recorded — not a date of worship there.
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 Suwa taisha, and when, is a separate claim, and this import holds none: it carries site locations, not dated activity.

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”.

How Suwa taisha connects

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