- Delete. The term “horaijima” turns up very sparse Google results. Among these is this webpage that says that “One of the most frequently encountered symbols in the Japanese gardens is Horaijima, the ‘treasure island’. Horaijima is a mythical place inhabited by immortals, and in the garden it is represented inside the pond, as a small island made from a rock (or group of rocks. There are no bridges and the island is not connected to the shore in any way, because Horaijima is inaccessible to mortals.” Also [1], which has similar content to the other website. Additionally, as per nom, the primary topic in scholarly articles is not about this term in the context of the article. Jobie James ( talk) 03:44, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
