-ga?

I do not know if there has ever been discussion or consensus on the preferred format of art terms, specifically those ending in "-e" and "-ga," so I apologize if I am bringing up something already resolved. That said, I am beginning a discussion on the matter over at WikiProject:Japan. LordAmeth 23:13, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good question : so I use both each time the case arises (typically bijin-ga, redirected from bijinga. Or, likewise e-goyomi + a redirection from egoyomi). Just note however that everyone will write ukiyo-e, or uki-e. Which is why I feel using two separate words is better (and more understandable to the layman).

Why on earth delete bijin ?

Because it was "non encyclopedic" and a foreign word ?! Must be a bad joke. Why not delete judo, while you are at it ? Bijin is used in many languages, not only English or French, typically in exhibitions of wood block prints or in books on Japanese painting to define the subject of a specific artistic Japanese genre (bijing-ga).
