WikiProject Biography Assessment

The article may be improved by following the WikiProject Biography 11 easy steps to producing at least a B article. -- Yamara 06:01, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Death poem

I know Shoin composed a jisei before he died, but I'm having trouble finding it. This Everything2 node translates it as Even if my life ends on the musashi plain \ the japanese spirit will still remain. Another web page, "Yoshida Shoin: The Archetype of Japanese Revolutionaries" gives the poem as 'then recited his final death poem: "Parental love exceeds one's love for his parents. How will they take the tidings of today?"' Which is irreconcilable with the previous version. --Gwern (contribs) 02:45 13 March 2008 (GMT)

Wrong on Education in Introduction

It would have been impossible for Shoin to have attended college and then teach it during his life time as the first colleges in Japan weren't founded until the Meiji Era, after his death. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.101.58.188 (talk) 20:15, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Translations flaws

The current version says "balance sheet date", which probably is a reference to the end of the Tokugawa Shogunate. Next it accuses him of being "one of the terrorist". Various other problems that are probably do to a machine translation of the Japanese original. I suppose I could make some effort to fix it, but Wikipedia isn't worth such effort as long as it continues supporting spammers. Shanen (talk) 11:45, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Photograph misattribution

The photograph used for Yoshida Shoin is incorrect. Although that photograph is sometimes attributed to being Shoin, his own pupil (Kozo Watanabe) stated several times up to the 1930s that the photograph is a misattribution. Watanabe states it is a photograph of an entirely different person, per 広瀬豊「渡辺嵩蔵談話第二」1931年4月、大和書房版『吉田松陰全集』10巻、365頁 (Yutaka Hirose "Conversation with Kozo Watanabe No. 2" April 1931, Yamato Shobo Publishing "Yoshida Shoin Zenshu" Vol. 10, Chp. 365) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.28.181.159 (talk) 08:53, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
