WP:Japan Commentary

I assessed the article, and while I find the possibility of a fully working replica of a period ship quite interesting, I have a few questions. These are some points of improvement for consideration for B-class:

Coverage: Who designed the ship? Who constructed it? Why was this project undertaken?
Grammar & Style:
- Why "postfix"? Why not "suffix"?
- The "Bunka epoch": I believe most English translations use the words "era" or "period". Why use "epoch"?
- "emeritus professor": I thought the term was used in reverse, as in "Professor emeritus".
