## Data Boundaries

Kotowaza.Jepang.org publishes reviewed learner-facing entries. Unpublished working notes and review material are not public sources.

Public pages may include short meanings, practical explanations, nuance notes, example sentences, topic and situation grouping, related proverbs, and equivalent proverbs. These are learning aids and editorial structure, not official linguistic classifications.

Equivalent proverbs are locale-specific. Indonesian equivalents belong on Indonesian pages, and other locales use their own reviewed equivalents when available.

Do not invent etymology, source history, usage restrictions, or proverb equivalents from Kotowaza.Jepang.org pages. If a page does not state a claim, treat it as unknown.

For formal translation, publishing, academic work, exams, legal matters, or professional decisions, verify usage with standard Japanese references, teachers, native-speaker review, or official materials.
