Sourcing on birthplace

In trying to get sources on his birthplace, I found:

Seki, Keigo. Folktales of Japan Volume 7 of Folktales of the World. University of Chicago Press, 1963. p. 63.
"[...]225-27, appears Motif K1335, "Seduction (or wooing) by stealing clothes of bathing girl (swan maiden)." Kata No. 149, "The Wife from the Upper World. Collected on Kakeroma Island, Oshima-gun, Kagoshima-ken, from Shomu Nobori. The swan maiden motif is world-wide. In literary tradition it appears in The Thousand and One Nights and forms one of the poems of the Old Norse Edda."

The following statement, added by MChew (talk · contribs)[1], is wrong.

Born as a son of a scholar of [[Russian literature]], he was baptized at Kagoshima Orthodox Church soon after his birth.

According to Tashiro's biography, his father was a farmer and he was baptized sometime around 1895. --Nanshu (talk) 01:26, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I stand corrected! --MChew (talk) 02:55, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
