Hi Bamse! I have a request for you: I'd like to have this image to add to the Wengen article here. Do you know how an image is moved from one Wikipedia to the other if it's not on Commons? Thanks. Truthkeeper88 ( talk) 19:32, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Bamse. Was busy for a couple of months because of real life events, but now I am back. I was thinking that I could do for Japanese Buddhist architecture what we did for Shinto architecture. It's a much bigger project (see how many entries exist in the Glossary of Japanese Buddhism). Would you be interested in collaborating, with no commitments or deadlines? If so, leave a line in the usual place. - Frank (Urashima Tarō) ( talk) 00:12, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

On July 9, 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Japanese Buddhist architecture, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

I noticed that the flag seen on the right was uploaded today to Silver Fern Flag by User:Awiseman. I checked it out and see you were the uploader (to wiki) on 8 November 2008, and you gave the source as your own work and that you were the copyright holder. I remember this design from the Change The New Zealand Flag promotion of a few years ago, as this website shows. Did you design the flag for them, (the NZFlag.com Trust)?

(Outdent) Seems from the conversation there that we need to formalise a licensed use of the image. Tell you what, if you e-mail susan.clifford@hrlmorrison.com and explain that we need authority to use the image, I'm sure it will all end up ok. Cheers Moriori ( talk) 02:42, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
Please take a look at the format of Toyohara Chikanobu#Genres. It is clear to me that the format could be improved, but I don't have the skills to know how to do better. Nor do I know who else to ask for critical comments and suggestions.
The edit history for this article will reveal that it is primarily the work of one contributor. My involvement is superficial. This same editor is responsible for both (a) the concept for this genre section and (b) the images which were uploaded. Please allow me to bring User:GaryD144 to your attention. Something good is going on here; and I distrust my ability to provide the kinds of feedback which might be helpful. -- Tenmei ( talk) 02:08, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Bamse. Just wanted to let you know that I used material from your article "List of National Treasures of Japan (residences)" to expand " Shoin-zukuri", properly crediting it. Cheers. Frank (Urashima Tarō) ( talk) 01:03, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
Hi Bamse, those symbols are spoken correctly when I navigate by character with the left and right arrow keys, but they are not spoken when I'm reading the text, unless I set the punctuation level to all, which isn't a default setting. In other words, there's no indication that the symbols are in the text unless a JAWS user reads the text very carefully. Therefore, those symbols are not suitable for that table. This surprises me a bit, because JAWS reads most non- ASCII characters, no matter the punctuation setting. The symbol "*" reads consistently, and so do "^", "°", "#", and just about any other symbol I can think of, besides the daggers! Graham 87 03:03, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi Bamse! Finally read this article and made a few tweaks. I'd like to think about a couple of sentences that, I think, need rewording before jumping in. I might be back with questions in a day or so. Just wanted you to know I haven't forgotten! Truthkeeper88 ( talk) 01:15, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi Bamse,
The Signpost's "Features and admins" page now includes a "Choice of the week" for featured articles, featured lists and featured pictures. Each week, The Signpost invites a different delegate, reviewer or nominator from each process to select what they think is the best, or their favourite, item, and to give their reasons. These reasons can be technical (e.g., related to the Criteria) or subjective, or both.
Would you be willing to do this with featured lists for next week’s edition? If you agree, promotions from Saturday 16 October to Friday 22 October will be eligible. They will be listed here by Saturday UTC, and we would need your text by Sunday UTC. Examples from previous weeks are accessible by clicking on "← PREVIOUS Features and admins" at the bottom. Cheers, Dabomb87 ( talk) 02:54, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Why is it not obvious to add {{dynamic list}} at List of National Treasures of Japan (ancient documents)#Treatures?
Are there circumstances in which Template:dynamic list is considered inelegant or inappropriate?
I understand each of the words, but I don't understand the context implied by one question here. Your response suggests you know something I need to learn.
Do we anticipate that the utility and credibility of this list is devalued by some unpredictable actions of the Japanese government in 2011 or 2012 ... or 2020? -- Tenmei ( talk) 20:47, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
Hello. You recently added a citation to a book from the " Webster's Quotations, Facts and Phrases" series published by Icon Group International to this article. Unfortunately, Icon Group International is not a reliable source - their books are computer-generated, with most of the text copied from Wikipedia (most entries have [WP] by them to indicate this, see e.g. [1]).
I've only removed the reference, not the text it was referencing. A lot of similar references have been removed as they are circular references; many other editors have also been duped by these sources. Despite giving an appearance of reliability, the name " Webster's" has been public domain since the late 19th century. Another publisher to be wary of as they reuse Wikipedia articles is Alphascript Publishing. Fences& Windows 01:15, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
Whoa, when did that happen? Europe and North America were distinct from each other at one point. I also see that UNESCO revamped their website. That might have something to do with it. Either way, yeah, both articles will have to be merged if we follow that logic. EricLeb01 ( Page | Talk) 00:58, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi Bamse, hope you're well.

I've done the first pass, but it needs another pass. As usual, interesting reading. I noticed the national treasures has inconsistent capitalization usage, in some cases it's national treasures & in others it's National Treasures. I'm thinking it's probably a proper noun but I'm not entirely certain. In any case, it should be fixed throughout, and I'll leave that to you. I'll return in a few days for a second pass.

In mid-December, you asked a question about date format Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Japan#Japanese calendar.
My opinion represents no clear answer to this inquiry, but it does become a constructive step towards establishing an explicit Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Japan-related articles) format. -- Tenmei ( talk) 03:03, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
I found this being used in a draft in your userspace.

Hi Bamse - just so you know, I am giving the sutra section a pretty good going over. I'm interested in the subject, writing and literature being my specialities, but more importantly, it seems to be the most important section in the article. Please change any mistakes I've made. I'm stopping for tonight because I'm losing my concentration, but will continue tomorrow. Thought I'd let you know that I particularly like the silver ink on indigo paper ones - quite amazing work. Also, I have a few questions but will wait until I'm done with the section. Truthkeeper88 02:01, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Question, you've left the question; " was the work/power shared between them?" And I'm not entirely clear on what you mean.. Other than they split responsibilities over a giving area there was no power sharing.
Sorry if they really need photos. But they had some photos and were in Category:Articles which may no longer need images. If you think they actually need photo, then more specific info is needed and there should be added "{{reqphoto|of=what image is needed|in=Japan}}". That "of=..." is necessary then the bot won't add that category again. Thanks. Pelmeen10 ( talk) 18:22, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi Bamse, I can't remember whether I've asked this before, but how does one move an image from Commons to enwp? The issue has come up for an article I have at here at FAC. Thanks. Truthkeeper88 ( talk) 01:46, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
I'm very sorry Bamse, didn't get to it last night. Hopefully this afternoon or this evening. Truthkeeper88 ( talk) 18:09, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
Congrats on another well deserved promotion. Too bad it took so long though. FLC and FAC are both running slowly at the moment; I have an article at FAC that's not attracting reviewers and may do the same thing you did, because am not around much now to tend it, and will soon be gone altogether for a few weeks. Truthkeeper88 ( talk) 14:43, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
I don't know whether you're still after comments on NTs - writings - others. Know little about this, but here's a few comments in case they are of any value: (1) You mention the designation criteria in line 1 - could these be wikilinked? (2) For introduction of writing Realms of Literacy sounds like it will be interesting (3) Pedantic point, but in statistics would 'municipality' be more accurate than city? (4) A couple of unanswered questions I had were (i) conservation measures and access and (ii) how important stamps/seals and the ownership history is for designation as an NT - if some authors are unknown it can't all be down to authorship; what is it that makes these particularly significant? Is it rarity of an early text, the only ms surviving? Or aesthetics? (5) Would Japanese literature make a good category? (6) Don't know if De Visser's old book might be a useful ref. Superb article, Maculosae tegmine lyncis ( talk) 11:00, 29 April 2011 (UTC) Oh yes, and what's the relationship with NTs - ancient documents? 11:02, 29 April 2011 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Maculosae tegmine lyncis ( talk • contribs)
Unindent... Very interesting list of Important Intangible CP, thanks already! After some more careful thought I agree with having the Living Treasures covered here (also see my reply to Urashimataro below). Hopefully I got the linking right with these three edits: [10], [11], [12]. As for your other question: Indeed the Zuihōden is not a National Treasure (in my opinion well worth a visit anyway if you haven't seen it yet). Hiroshima Castle and Tōdaiji Fujumonkō are other examples that were destroyed in WWII. If you wish, you could add the Zuihōden to the list of examples at the end of this section. 206 structure NT were destroyed, not sure about the number of art objects destroyed. However, there were more than 8000 pre-war NT (compared to ca. 1000 now), so some of the destroyed NT might not have been designated under the present (apparently stricter) law. Two more things, I forgot to mention before... As for the difference between "ancient documents" and "writings", items in "ancient documents" are generally unique (i.e. only one copy of them was created), while items in "writings" were generally copied (a long time ago for circulation) and extant manuscripts in many cases don't correspond to the originals (which have been lost) but to these copies (which in the case of the Kojiki are several hundred years younger than the time of compilation). As with my comments above, these not official criteria, but only how it looks to me. bamse ( talk) 18:58, 30 April 2011 (UTC) Second point I forgot, is: the main reason I decided to write somewhat extensive introductions to these NT lists, is that I wanted to put the listed items in historical context and explain their importance (kind of answering indirectly the question: "Why have these items and not others been designated?"). As you can see from most/all of these lists' intros, many designated items are the first (extant) of a certain type/style/genre. bamse ( talk) 19:16, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi. I think that, regardless of how things legally stand, the question:
Are living National Treasures are "Cultural Properties" and should they appear in the Template:Cultural Properties of Japan or not?
has no clean-cut answer. On the one hand, a person cannot be property. That's common sense. On the other, LNT have so many things in common with true cultural properties that it would be strange NOT to include them. I would. Frank (Urashima Tarō) ( talk) 07:32, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
Hello again, I was just wondering, if one searches in Google for Zuihōden (with 'ō') the Wikipedia article comes up as the first hit, whereas I'm not finding it with Zuihoden (with 'o') at all; is that something you have come across? Seems a shame if for the sake of accuracy of transliteration and naming the articles don't get found? I'm not sure if redirects make any difference, Maculosae tegmine lyncis ( talk) 23:50, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of List of National Treasures of Japan (writings: Japanese books), and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: List of National Treasures of Japan (writings: books). It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. CorenSearchBot ( talk) 15:06, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
Hello again, I've added a few entries to the List and was wondering what format you suggest for events based on the old lunar calendar: should some brief mention be made in the intro and then eg Lunar 1/1-5, or ca. Jan 1-5, or Jan 1-5 (Lunar), or a full narrative version each time, or what? Am I right in thinking the 'dtsh' template is some kind of date sorter? Also, pages 169ff. of this might help with 'official' English versions (and the 'Holders'). I've created a few v.brief related stubs recently since they might be the best way to link in from the city articles etc (I don't think you can link to individual lines). (Plus have you come across Ševčenko's law?) That said, having inserted a couple of links to your various Cultural Property/National Treasure articles in the main Japan page (somehow there was none before), the number of views dropped. Also, if you have a moment would you mind checking eg this upload of this image, in particular the licensing: I'm not entirely sure what passes (have plumped for Free Art) and could not work out how to get the TUSC uploader or even, on the licensing front, the upload from other Wikimedia project options to work; (don't want to upload too many if I'm getting it wrong, and imagine you have some experience)? Also, what's your view on including the date of designation? For eg the cultural landscapes it's quite noticeable/?notable? that these are all recent, and many of them v.v. recent. For NTs/ICPs also, is this a case of low-hanging fruit? Just one other thought: perhaps any further updates to the folk intangibles article should be prepared off-line so as not to jeopardise a DYK for …one of the two Necessities of Life are Etchū Fukuoka sedge-woven hats, Maculosae tegmine lyncis ( talk) 13:32, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi Bamse,
I have written the blurbs for all the today's featured lists submissions I have made, but I can't take all the credit; the majority of each blurb is taken word-for-word from the lists' ledes. Great job in writing all those lists of National Treasures of Japan! I'd wait a while before submitting another blurb for one of those, but if you have a suggestion of a list that represents an underrepresented category on TFLS, I would be glad to consider writing a blurb for it.

There were as many as eight Sangi at any one time. <:ref>Dickson, Walter G. et al. (1898). "The Eight Boards of Government" in Japan, p. 60., p. 60, at Google Books; excerpt, "The Sangi ... is a very important office — eight officers. They are of high rank ... and are chosen for their talent for the office. This seems to be to report upon the proceedings and conclusions of the other officers of the board; to watch and also advise, and sometimes to act as judges. They are both civil and military. If a man has shown himself qualified for this office he may rise to it, though not originally of high rank."</ref>

Sorry, I haven't gotten around to that request but its definitely on my to do list. I should be able to get a scan of that Heavenly Warriors book tomorrow hopefully. The Japanese language text will take a bit longer. I think my best bet is to make an appointment with the staff at the Yenching library to see if someone can help me identify the right pages to scan, otherwise I'm worried that I'll get there and won't be able to make enough sense of the book to scan what you want!

Hi, Bamse. I have started working on a revision of Japanese architecture, as requested by Kenchikuben. It is (where else?) in good old Hayashi Eitetsu. Who knows if I will ever write that article about Hayashi Eitetsu himself. Would you mind taking a cursory look only to the index and tell me what you think? In particular, I want to include a section about post-Buddhism Shinto architecture (there is one about pre-Buddhism styles), but can't figure out where to put it. Also, the article is already substantial and my additions will make it huge. I would like to more or less arbitrarily divide it in two. As usual, there is no rush.

" Ancient documents" is a category of Japanese National Treasures that comprises documents from the Asuka period to the Meiji period, selected for especially high historical or artistic value. The documents consist of letters, diaries, records or catalogues, certificates, imperial decrees, testaments, and maps, housed in temples, museums, libraries, shrines, and private collections. They record early Japanese governance and Buddhism, including contact with China, the organization of the state, and life at the Japanese imperial court. The documents are significant examples of calligraphy. Lettering, in the form of inscribed artefacts, was brought to Japan from China c. 2000 years ago. From 5th-century Korea came classical Chinese books, probably written on paper. Soon after, scribes were appointed to the provinces to record events and report conditions. By the end of the 7th century, reading and writing became part of Japanese life, mostly because of the need for literate officials and the rise of Buddhism, which required the study of written sūtras.

Hi Bamse, I don't know when I'll get to it, but you've inpired me to work on Lady Marusaki. I've always found her to be interesting, and I love the images. So, I haven't moved away completely from Japanese art. This is will be a long term project, but should be an interesting one. Truthkeeper88 ( talk) 19:00, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi, just wanted you to know that I looked in my library for the book you requested and it's not there, unfortunately. While there I found a Cambridge Encyclopedia of Japan instead of the Cambridge History of Japan, but one of the editors is Bowring, and it has a piece about court life during the Heian period, Michinaga, Murasaki Shikibu, so it's a good overview.

Just so you know, after a little more tidying, I'm hoping to nominate to FAC tonight. Also tried to expand the diary article for a DYK, but I think it's impossible to do such a large expansion. Also, can't read this but wondered if this is Michinaga?

Hi Bamse, I've linked in the lead that Genji was written in kana / Japanese - that's correct, isn't it? I've had a question about it on the FAC and not sure I've explained it correctly. Or if it's wrong, I should change it. Truthkeeper ( talk) 00:16, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
Quick question - I've moved on to Empress Shōshi - I assume this is an image of Shoshi with one of her infants, but wanted to confirm with you first because there's not a lot of description with it. If it is, I'd upload to use as the lead image because it's more clear and an image we haven't yet used. Also, do you know whether this is a different emaki for the diary? Truthkeeper ( talk) 22:14, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
Another question about images. According to a FAC comment the article should include more images from the Genji emakimoto - which I think is good feedback. I've added some information to the text, sourced to Frederic, who says it's housed at the Gotoh museum, but this file File:Genji emaki azumaya.jpg says it's at the Tokugowa museum. Is there more than one of these early emakimotos? I'm confused. Truthkeeper ( talk) 22:22, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi,
Will you please be so kind to translate the following text from German to English? Thanks in advance.
"Skanderbeg war schon deshalb kein „Albanerführer“, weil seiner Erhebung außer albanischen auch bulgarische, serbische oder vlachische Orthodoxe folgten."
-- Antidiskriminator ( talk) 13:44, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
Sorry to disturb you again, but I need two more sentences to be translated:
"Der albanische Adlige, der als Geisel am Hof des osmanischen Sultans zum Islam übergetreten war und dann rasch Karriere gemacht hatte, wechselte 1443 die Seiten, kehrte zum Christentum zurück und kämpfte ein Vierteljahrhundert gegen die Osmanen. Von der albanischen Nationalbewegung war er seit dem Ende des 19 Jahrhunderts zum nationalen Mythos erhoben worden."
"Kadare ist die Galionsfigur des im öffentlichen Diskurs Albaniens dominierenden nationalistisch-proeuropäischen Lagers, dem der Skanderbeg-Mythos als Beleg für die europäische Identität Albaniens dient."
The context can be seen here.

Hello again,
I have well received your message, and you raise very interesting questions. First of all, there are numerous emaki where the artist doesn't really follow the original text (like the Shigisan-engi) or interprets it. As you remark, the passage in page 136 deals with the youth of Lady Murasaki, when she learned chinese (women didn't studied this tongue, but she heared her brother's lessons), so maybe the artist feels free to paint this section elsewhere.
However, we have to be careful. For a more argumented answer, I need to check both: the nikki (we have a faithful translation in French) and the reconstruction of the emaki by scholars (for example in the volume 12 of Nihon Emakimono Zenshu, very hard to find, but I know a museum in France where I can get it). I will recontact you after having checked these sources (I'm afraid that I won't be in measure to do so quickly). Binabik155 ( talk) 13:59, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
It's a very nice article! I think I will translate it back to French one day or another. Don't worry for the Nihon emakimono zenshu collection, I will give you some feedback as soon as possible. I just have to contact some friends of mine who works at the
Guimet Museum (because its library is private).

It was meant to be featured today, but there were presentation issues raised at ERRORS. Anyway, if you have time, could you take a look at the talk page (or ERRORS) and let me know if you had any thoughts on the issues raised? No worries if you're too busy.

Hello again - I'm very sorry about leaving you in the lurch with the poetry list, started with a lightning strike... I see you are updating the lists and noticed your numbers for Monuments. Have you come across this for Monuments and more generally this for nationally-designated properties and this for prefectural and municipal designations?

Hi, Bamse. Was busy for a couple of months because of real life events, but now I am back. I was thinking that I could do for Japanese Buddhist architecture what we did for Shinto architecture. It's a much bigger project (see how many entries exist in the Glossary of Japanese Buddhism). Would you be interested in collaborating, with no commitments or deadlines?

I noticed that the flag seen on the right was uploaded today to Silver Fern Flag by User:Awiseman. I checked it out and see you were the uploader (to wiki) on 8 November 2008, and you gave the source as your own work and that you were the copyright holder.

Please take a look at the format of Toyohara Chikanobu#Genres. It is clear to me that the format could be improved, but I don't have the skills to know how to do better. Nor do I know who else to ask for critical comments and suggestions.
The edit history for this article will reveal that it is primarily the work of one contributor. My involvement is superficial. This same editor is responsible for both (a) the concept for this genre section and (b) the images which were uploaded. Please allow me to bring User:GaryD144 to your attention.

Hi Bamse, those symbols are spoken correctly when I navigate by character with the left and right arrow keys, but they are not spoken when I'm reading the text, unless I set the punctuation level to all, which isn't a default setting. In other words, there's no indication that the symbols are in the text unless a JAWS user reads the text very carefully. Therefore, those symbols are not suitable for that table. This surprises me a bit, because JAWS reads most non- ASCII characters, no matter the punctuation setting. The symbol "*" reads consistently, and so do "^", "°", "#", and just about any other symbol I can think of, besides the daggers! Graham 87 03:03, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi Bamse,
The Signpost's "Features and admins" page now includes a "Choice of the week" for featured articles, featured lists and featured pictures. Each week, The Signpost invites a different delegate, reviewer or nominator from each process to select what they think is the best, or their favourite, item, and to give their reasons. These reasons can be technical (e.g., related to the Criteria) or subjective, or both.
Would you be willing to do this with featured lists for next week’s edition? If you agree, promotions from Saturday 16 October to Friday 22 October will be eligible. They will be listed here by Saturday UTC, and we would need your text by Sunday UTC. Examples from previous weeks are accessible by clicking on "← PREVIOUS Features and admins" at the bottom. Cheers, Dabomb87 ( talk) 02:54, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Why is it not obvious to add {{dynamic list}} at List of National Treasures of Japan (ancient documents)#Treatures?

I understand each of the words, but I don't understand the context implied by one question here. Your response suggests you know something I need to learn.

Hello. You recently added a citation to a book from the " Webster's Quotations, Facts and Phrases" series published by Icon Group International to this article. Unfortunately, Icon Group International is not a reliable source - their books are computer-generated, with most of the text copied from Wikipedia (most entries have [WP] by them to indicate this, see e.g. [1]).
I've only removed the reference, not the text it was referencing. A lot of similar references have been removed as they are circular references; many other editors have also been duped by these sources. Despite giving an appearance of reliability, the name " Webster's" has been public domain since the late 19th century. Another publisher to be wary of as they reuse Wikipedia articles is Alphascript Publishing. Fences& Windows 01:15, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
Whoa, when did that happen? Europe and North America were distinct from each other at one point. I also see that UNESCO revamped their website. That might have something to do with it.

I've done the first pass, but it needs another pass. As usual, interesting reading. I noticed the national treasures has inconsistent capitalization usage, in some cases it's national treasures & in others it's National Treasures.

Sorry if they really need photos. But they had some photos and were in Category:Articles which may no longer need images. If you think they actually need photo, then more specific info is needed and there should be added "{{reqphoto|of=what image is needed|in=Japan}}".

I don't know whether you're still after comments on NTs - writings - others. Know little about this, but here's a few comments in case they are of any value: (1) You mention the designation criteria in line 1 - could these be wikilinked? (2) For introduction of writing Realms of Literacy sounds like it will be interesting (3) Pedantic point, but in statistics would 'municipality' be more accurate than city? (4) A couple of unanswered questions I had were (i) conservation measures and access and (ii) how important stamps/seals and the ownership history is for designation as an NT - if some authors are unknown it can't all be down to authorship; what is it that makes these particularly significant? Is it rarity of an early text, the only ms surviving? Or aesthetics? (5) Would Japanese literature make a good category? (6) Don't know if De Visser's old book might be a useful ref. Superb article, Maculosae tegmine lyncis ( talk) 11:00, 29 April 2011 (UTC) Oh yes, and what's the relationship with NTs - ancient documents? 11:02, 29 April 2011 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Maculosae tegmine lyncis ( talk • contribs)
Unindent... Very interesting list of Important Intangible CP, thanks already! After some more careful thought I agree with having the Living Treasures covered here (also see my reply to Urashimataro below). Hopefully I got the linking right with these three edits: [10], [11], [12]. As for your other question: Indeed the Zuihōden is not a National Treasure (in my opinion well worth a visit anyway if you haven't seen it yet). Hiroshima Castle and Tōdaiji Fujumonkō are other examples that were destroyed in WWII. If you wish, you could add the Zuihōden to the list of examples at the end of this section. 206 structure NT were destroyed, not sure about the number of art objects destroyed. However, there were more than 8000 pre-war NT (compared to ca. 1000 now), so some of the destroyed NT might not have been designated under the present (apparently stricter) law. Two more things, I forgot to mention before... As for the difference between "ancient documents" and "writings", items in "ancient documents" are generally unique (i.e. only one copy of them was created), while items in "writings" were generally copied (a long time ago for circulation) and extant manuscripts in many cases don't correspond to the originals (which have been lost) but to these copies (which in the case of the Kojiki are several hundred years younger than the time of compilation). As with my comments above, these not official criteria, but only how it looks to me. bamse ( talk) 18:58, 30 April 2011 (UTC) Second point I forgot, is: the main reason I decided to write somewhat extensive introductions to these NT lists, is that I wanted to put the listed items in historical context and explain their importance (kind of answering indirectly the question: "Why have these items and not others been designated?"). As you can see from most/all of these lists' intros, many designated items are the first (extant) of a certain type/style/genre. bamse ( talk) 19:16, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi. I think that, regardless of how things legally stand, the question:
Are living National Treasures are "Cultural Properties" and should they appear in the Template:Cultural Properties of Japan or not?
has no clean-cut answer. On the one hand, a person cannot be property. That's common sense. On the other, LNT have so many things in common with true cultural properties that it would be strange NOT to include them. I would. Frank (Urashima Tarō) ( talk) 07:32, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
Hello again, I was just wondering, if one searches in Google for Zuihōden (with 'ō') the Wikipedia article comes up as the first hit, whereas I'm not finding it with Zuihoden (with 'o') at all; is that something you have come across? Seems a shame if for the sake of accuracy of transliteration and naming the articles don't get found?

Hello again, I've added a few entries to the List and was wondering what format you suggest for events based on the old lunar calendar: should some brief mention be made in the intro and then eg Lunar 1/1-5, or ca. Jan 1-5, or Jan 1-5 (Lunar), or a full narrative version each time, or what? Am I right in thinking the 'dtsh' template is some kind of date sorter? Also, pages 169ff. of this might help with 'official' English versions (and the 'Holders'). I've created a few v.brief related stubs recently since they might be the best way to link in from the city articles etc (I don't think you can link to individual lines). (Plus have you come across Ševčenko's law?) That said, having inserted a couple of links to your various Cultural Property/National Treasure articles in the main Japan page (somehow there was none before), the number of views dropped. Also, if you have a moment would you mind checking eg this upload of this image, in particular the licensing: I'm not entirely sure what passes (have plumped for Free Art) and could not work out how to get the TUSC uploader or even, on the licensing front, the upload from other Wikimedia project options to work; (don't want to upload too many if I'm getting it wrong, and imagine you have some experience)? Also, what's your view on including the date of designation? For eg the cultural landscapes it's quite noticeable/?notable? that these are all recent, and many of them v.v. recent. For NTs/ICPs also, is this a case of low-hanging fruit? Just one other thought: perhaps any further updates to the folk intangibles article should be prepared off-line so as not to jeopardise a DYK for …one of the two Necessities of Life are Etchū Fukuoka sedge-woven hats, Maculosae tegmine lyncis ( talk) 13:32, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

I have written the blurbs for all the today's featured lists submissions I have made, but I can't take all the credit; the majority of each blurb is taken word-for-word from the lists' ledes. Great job in writing all those lists of National Treasures of Japan!

There were as many as eight Sangi at any one time. <:ref>Dickson, Walter G. et al. (1898). "The Eight Boards of Government" in Japan, p. 60., p. 60, at Google Books; excerpt, "The Sangi ... is a very important office — eight officers. They are of high rank ... and are chosen for their talent for the office. This seems to be to report upon the proceedings and conclusions of the other officers of the board; to watch and also advise, and sometimes to act as judges. They are both civil and military. If a man has shown himself qualified for this office he may rise to it, though not originally of high rank."</ref>

Hi,
Sorry, I haven't gotten around to that request but its definitely on my to do list. I should be able to get a scan of that Heavenly Warriors book tomorrow hopefully. The Japanese language text will take a bit longer. I think my best bet is to make an appointment with the staff at the Yenching library to see if someone can help me identify the right pages to scan, otherwise I'm worried that I'll get there and won't be able to make enough sense of the book to scan what you want!

Hi, Bamse. I have started working on a revision of Japanese architecture, as requested by Kenchikuben. It is (where else?) in good old Hayashi Eitetsu. Who knows if I will ever write that article about Hayashi Eitetsu himself. Would you mind taking a cursory look only to the index and tell me what you think? In particular, I want to include a section about post-Buddhism Shinto architecture (there is one about pre-Buddhism styles), but can't figure out where to put it. Also, the article is already substantial and my additions will make it huge. I would like to more or less arbitrarily divide it in two. As usual, there is no rush.

You can view the TFL blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured list/August 29, 2011.

" Ancient documents" is a category of Japanese National Treasures that comprises documents from the Asuka period to the Meiji period, selected for especially high historical or artistic value. The documents consist of letters, diaries, records or catalogues, certificates, imperial decrees, testaments, and maps, housed in temples, museums, libraries, shrines, and private collections. They record early Japanese governance and Buddhism, including contact with China, the organization of the state, and life at the Japanese imperial court. The documents are significant examples of calligraphy. Lettering, in the form of inscribed artefacts, was brought to Japan from China c. 2000 years ago. From 5th-century Korea came classical Chinese books, probably written on paper. Soon after, scribes were appointed to the provinces to record events and report conditions. By the end of the 7th century, reading and writing became part of Japanese life, mostly because of the need for literate officials and the rise of Buddhism, which required the study of written sūtras.

Hi Bamse, I don't know when I'll get to it, but you've inpired me to work on Lady Marusaki. I've always found her to be interesting, and I love the images. So, I haven't moved away completely from Japanese art. This is will be a long term project, but should be an interesting one. Truthkeeper88 ( talk) 19:00, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi, just wanted you to know that I looked in my library for the book you requested and it's not there, unfortunately. While there I found a Cambridge Encyclopedia of Japan instead of the Cambridge History of Japan, but one of the editors is Bowring, and it has a piece about court life during the Heian period, Michinaga, Murasaki Shikibu, so it's a good overview.

Just so you know, after a little more tidying, I'm hoping to nominate to FAC tonight. Also tried to expand the diary article for a DYK, but I think it's impossible to do such a large expansion. Also, can't read this but wondered if this is Michinaga? If so, I'd add it to the diary page, and wondered if you would mind uploading for me since I can't read to add the relevant information to the file.

Hi Bamse, I've linked in the lead that Genji was written in kana / Japanese - that's correct, isn't it? I've had a question about it on the FAC and not sure I've explained it correctly. Or if it's wrong, I should change it. Truthkeeper ( talk) 00:16, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
Quick question - I've moved on to Empress Shōshi - I assume this is an image of Shoshi with one of her infants, but wanted to confirm with you first because there's not a lot of description with it. If it is, I'd upload to use as the lead image because it's more clear and an image we haven't yet used. Also, do you know whether this is a different emaki for the diary? Truthkeeper ( talk) 22:14, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
Another question about images. According to a FAC comment the article should include more images from the Genji emakimoto - which I think is good feedback. I've added some information to the text, sourced to Frederic, who says it's housed at the Gotoh museum, but this file File:Genji emaki azumaya.jpg says it's at the Tokugowa museum. Is there more than one of these early emakimotos? I'm confused. Truthkeeper ( talk) 22:22, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi,
Will you please be so kind to translate the following text from German to English? Thanks in advance.
"Skanderbeg war schon deshalb kein „Albanerführer“, weil seiner Erhebung außer albanischen auch bulgarische, serbische oder vlachische Orthodoxe folgten."
-- Antidiskriminator ( talk) 13:44, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
Sorry to disturb you again, but I need two more sentences to be translated:
"Der albanische Adlige, der als Geisel am Hof des osmanischen Sultans zum Islam übergetreten war und dann rasch Karriere gemacht hatte, wechselte 1443 die Seiten, kehrte zum Christentum zurück und kämpfte ein Vierteljahrhundert gegen die Osmanen. Von der albanischen Nationalbewegung war er seit dem Ende des 19 Jahrhunderts zum nationalen Mythos erhoben worden."
"Kadare ist die Galionsfigur des im öffentlichen Diskurs Albaniens dominierenden nationalistisch-proeuropäischen Lagers, dem der Skanderbeg-Mythos als Beleg für die europäische Identität Albaniens dient."
The context can be seen here.
Thanks in advance.-- Antidiskriminator ( talk) 08:07, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi Bamse - thanks for the sources in the my sandbox regarding the plant. I'll add that information to the biography as soon, I have a few other pieces to add as well, so will do it all at once. I've been looking for a source about the emakimono for the The Diary of Lady Murasaki - I have a source which describes the style of the art but I was wondering if one exists that mentions the emaki is an NT and that fragments of it exist in two different museums (if that's correct)?

In praise of your tireless work on the culture articles. Well done! Shinkansen Fan ( talk) 08:41, 2 December 2011 (UTC) |
Hello again,
I have well received your message, and you raise very interesting questions. First of all, there are numerous emaki where the artist doesn't really follow the original text (like the Shigisan-engi) or interprets it. As you remark, the passage in page 136 deals with the youth of Lady Murasaki, when she learned chinese (women didn't studied this tongue, but she heared her brother's lessons), so maybe the artist feels free to paint this section elsewhere.
However, we have to be careful. For a more argumented answer, I need to check both: the nikki (we have a faithful translation in French) and the reconstruction of the emaki by scholars (for example in the volume 12 of Nihon Emakimono Zenshu, very hard to find, but I know a museum in France where I can get it). I will recontact you after having checked these sources (I'm afraid that I won't be in measure to do so quickly). Binabik155 ( talk) 13:59, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
It's a very nice article! I think I will translate it back to French one day or another. Don't worry for the Nihon emakimono zenshu collection, I will give you some feedback as soon as possible. I just have to contact some friends of mine who works at the
Guimet Museum (because its library is private).

Hey, regarding your question over here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Brazil#What_is_.22Colon.22_in_.22Colon_road.22.3F it's actually named "Estrada do colono" which could be translated as "Settler's Road"

Hello,
I'm very sorry, I have three/four sources about the Ban dainagon ekotoba, but not available online and not in english... Maybee you can find more information in this paper (I don't have read it yet). Binabik155 ( talk) 11:10, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
PS concerning this, I probably made a mistake in the source... I will try to correct it!
Hiya! Sorry to bother you with all the questions, but was wondering where you thought Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument should be listed? Is putting it both American and Oceanian lists okay, or is that an unncessary duplication?
I also happened to notice TRM's comments above—I could use some other TFL eyes at List of current sovereign monarchs. It was meant to be featured today, but there were presentation issues raised at ERRORS. Anyway, if you have time, could you take a look at the talk page (or ERRORS) and let me know if you had any thoughts on the issues raised? No worries if you're too busy.

Hello again - I'm very sorry about leaving you in the lurch with the poetry list, started with a lightning strike... I see you are updating the lists and noticed your numbers for Monuments. Have you come across this for Monuments and more generally this for nationally-designated properties and this for prefectural and municipal designations?
