How this report grows
The page is built for a small beginning and a much larger reviewed sample. The URL and citation format stay the same.
New records change the aggregate
Every newly published review updates the category prevalence and the supporting counts. The charts never add one visual column per goshuin.
Shared elements emerge carefully
Taxonomy terms and deity references match by canonical identity. Inscriptions and seals match only when their reviewed public text is the same.
A weekly snapshot keeps citations stable
The scheduled Monday refresh reads the latest reviewed public annotations. A failed refresh leaves the last successful snapshot online.
Method and limits
Editorial review decides what is public.
Included
Current-image regions linked to reviewed public characteristics, inscriptions, seals, deity references, or primary subjects on approved public goshuin records.
Excluded
Pending suggestions, internal review notes, replaced images, deleted records, and records that are not approved for public use.
Absence is not proof
An absent category or element means no reviewed public link exists in this snapshot. It may still be visible in an image or awaiting editorial review.
Questions this cannot answer
This sample cannot measure cultural importance, regional prevalence, historical change, or the frequency of visual elements across goshuin in Japan.
