This is an interesting topic we have learned in the Modern Japan class my Sophomore year.

Evaluate the article
Lead Section: The article starts with a concise and accurate definition of the term Sankin-kōtai. However, since the article is pretty short, the lead paragraph does not include a description of the sections of it. The lead sentence does not have information not presented in the article.

Content: the content is relevant to the term and up to date, and does not include any excess information nor is it missing any. It technically does not address a minority group as the Japanese are the majority race in Japan.

Tone and Balance: The article is neutral and does not persuade the readers in any way. It does not emphasize one particular viewpoint, and does not include a view that is in the majority.

Sources and References: the facts in the article are represented by peer-reviewed sources that have authority on the subject. The sources are current, but they are not written by minority groups. The links work.

Organization and writing quality: the article is well-written and does not have any grammar mistakes. It is broken down into sections and easy to comprehend.

Images and Media: The images are well captioned, well laid out, and relevant to the topic. They adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations.

Talk Page Discussion: It does not have one since this article was written by the Japan Collaborative for Wikipedia and considered an official source.

Overall, this is a well-written article that is concise and precisely captures the definition of the term.
