Talk:Okunoin

Sources to expand article
ja.wiki has a good section on the subject, as part of the Koyasan article: ja:金剛峯寺.

The books they use as source don't seem available online, though. Maybe some Japanese-speaking users can help. --Broc (talk) 20:23, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Generic term
As per eg JAANUS here, isn't oku-no-in (as the kanji might suggest) a generic term somewhat along the lines of 'inner (even if sometimes, as with the oku-no-in of the temples on the Shikoku pilgrimage, a kilometre of two from the temple proper) sanctum'? Should the page title be amended to reflect that this page relates to the Koyasan oku-no-in, not the term/phenomenon in general?

 * @Maculosae tegmine lyncis that's correct. I was debating whether to name the page Okunoin, Mount Kōya but I thought the disambiguation was unnecessary. Should we create a disambiguation page? I haven't found any other mentions of "okunoin" on en.wp except for the one on Koyasan. Broc (talk) 09:15, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
