Claims Supported by This Source

  1. The average composition from the Shōwa era repairs (1959–61) was 68.7% copper, 19.6% lead, and 9.3% tin (Shiozawa 2010). It has been suggested that bronze coins imported from China were used as material (Hirao 2008). The origin and procurement route require further verification.
  2. Dosō: High-interest moneylending businesses under the protection of powerful temples and shrines such as Enryaku-ji. There were 330 in Kyoto during the Shōwa era (1312–1317) and many in Sakamoto as well ("Dosō").
  3. The "sansenbitsu" (offering chest) placed at Tsurugaoka Hachimangū in 1540 is the oldest recorded "saisenbako" (offering box) ("Saisen," "Kaigen Sōzu Ki").
