Source-derived summary

Nawa Jinja (名和神社) is a Shinto shrine in Daisen, Tottori Prefecture, Japan. It is celebrated for its cherry blossoms. It is one of the Fifteen Shrines of the Kenmu Restoration, dedicated to the memory of Nawa Nagatoshi.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Nawa Shrine” as shinto shrine in Tottori Prefecture, Japan. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current 37-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Nawa, Shrine and Shinto can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as shinto shrine in Tottori Prefecture, Japan. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q245834. Authority coordinates are 35.504, 133.495. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
