Hi. I appreciate your efforts to improve the chamei article, but there are some errors in your edits. For example, not all chamei of tea practitioners begin with or even incorporate the character sō. I'm therefore restoring some of the information you altered. Exploding Boy (talk) 06:58, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, I have never seen the term さんせんけ romanised as "san-Senke," and it doesn't appear to be a standard romanisation, Sansenke being the more common form by far. As you've altered it, it also doesn't follow Wikipedia's rules for subheadings in certain places. If you feel strongly about it, you may wish to request comment on one of the romanisation pages, or on the Japanese topics noticeboard. Exploding Boy (talk) 07:11, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Chamei of iemoto, sure. But not every tea practitioner's chamei contains that character. Exploding Boy (talk) 04:21, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Culture of Japan

Hi! It would be grateful if you could create a Japanese tea ceremony section in Culture of Japan when you are not too busy. Thank you. Oda Mari (talk) 14:00, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your confidence in me to attempt it. The page on Culture of Japan is way too broad for me to even try to fit in a section about Japanese tea ceremony, especially considering that chado is involved with a great many aspects of the traditional culture of Japan. Regards.

Kamo Shrine

Graphic representation explaining why Kamo Shrine is construed as a unitary entity.

I re-worked the introduction to this article; and I created new "main" articles for Kamigamo Shrine and Shimogamo Shrine.

In terms of the Venn diagram at right:

If A=Kamigamo Shrine; and
If B=Shimogamo Shrine; and
If U=Tadasu no Mori and/or
If U=activities related to Kami-no-Kaml and/or
If U=all matters relating to Kamo clan

Then, it becomes reasonable to discuss anything to do with this shrine as if it were a unitary entity; and at the same time, it is possible to discuss the shrine's constituent parts as plural entities.

Does this help to clarify what I've been trying to say? --Tenmei (talk) 23:08, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re:technical question

Hi! Thank you for the image. I added it to the article chaki. [1] Hope this page is helpful. Regards. Oda Mari (talk) 15:56, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oda Mari: Thank you! That is exactly where I planned to put the photo.Tksb (talk) 12:14, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Residences

Hi! I noticed your interest in Japanese residential architecture. It would be great if you could have a look over User:Bamse/List_of_National_Treasures_(residences)#lead (three paragraphs) which is meant as intro for List of National Treasures of Japan (residences) and let me know of any errors or suggestions. bamse (talk) 20:07, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Thanks for your contact and show of confidence. I have taken a quick look at the "lead". Before getting into details, I wonder, generally, how this rather technical explanation fits in as an intro for List of National Treasures of Japan (residences). I would understand it better if the List connected, where appropriate, to a/this information about features of the particular style of architecture (shoin-zukuri, or whatever), and readers could thus learn more there about the particulars of that National Treasure, or if a/this information (wikipedia article about shoin-zukuri, or whatever), were connected where appropriate to the List.Tksb (talk) 13:10, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Let me explain. The residence NT are of three styles (plus a gate): shoin-zukuri, sukiya-zukuri, teahouse style (sōan). The lead is meant to explain roughly (due to length limitations) what each of these styles looks like. It also connects to the treasure table by mentioning NT structures which are representative for each style. Reversely, the list connects to the lead through the "remarks" column, in which the particular style is mentioned. BTW, I moved the section from my user page to List of National Treasures of Japan (residences). bamse (talk) 09:01, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Citation tagging

Hi! I just noticed your edit to the Green tea article requesting citations in a section of the article. The proper method of requesting citations is to use the {{citation needed}} tag. Hope this helps! SpecMode (talk) 06:58, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for April 29

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sensō Sōshitsu, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Kanazawa and Raku (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).
