The creator of this portal,
User:Fg2, has recently died. I and some other editors have decided that we would try to improve an article, with luck to FA, in his memorial. As per the most recent issue of the Wikipedia Signpost, the article chosen is
Mount Fuji. I believe we would all welcome any input from anyone else who wants to create a fitting memorial for this editor. Thank you.

Frequency words list
Hello, may you help to expand the articles
Word lists by frequency, if I remember well, Japan also have its own frequency list.
I feel that Wikipedia benefits if people are encouraged to explore.
Thus Wikipedia would surely benefit from mutual (cross) links between
Portal:Japan,
Japan, and maybe also
Outline of Japan,
but surely it's best to get a consensus before going ahead and
adding hatnote links.

Would someone who speaks Japanese be kind enough to improve the page on photographer
Iwao Yamawaki. The page was created in 2007 but has very little information. There is a Japanese wikipedia page for him which seems to have a bit more detail and it would be useful if someone could translate its contents and refs.

The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.
As of May 2nd, 2018,
membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.
Updated the Selected biography section of the portal using
Template:Transclude random excerpt, which provides readers with current, up-to-date information that is verbatim to that in articles. A consensus approving the usage of transclusion templates in portals was formed at
this Village Pump discussion. Used selections moved to the main portal page from
Portal:Japan/Selected biography.
This is a list of recognized content, updated weekly by
JL-Bot (
talk·contribs) (typically on Saturdays). There is no need to edit the list yourself. If an article is missing from the list, make sure it is
tagged (e.g. {{WikiProject Japan}}) or
categorized correctly and wait for the next update. See
WP:RECOG for configuration options.
Comments from this user should be excluded from assessments of
consensus.
The
portal banner seems to use a
wonton font. It's inconsistent whether or not something like this bothers people (my guess is that most Japanese people probably wouldn't mind; these types of fonts are even sometimes used throughout Asia), but it may bother some. I'm not necessarily proposing that it be changed, but just pointing it out to let people know it can be perceived this way.

I think it should be changed. Not only does it have nothing to do with Japan, it seems in poor taste and unnecessarily stylized. I think the page would be improved if it was replaced with a more standard font.
