DannyWilde, you'd be a natural for an article on Tokyu Hands, combining carpentry with retail. The Japanese is at ja:東急ハンズ. Fg2 07:07, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
Tokyu Hands is v. expensive and it's in Tokyo. I prefer Joyful Honda.
Glossary of Japanese history - this article can be quite handly for both us and readers to check terminology. Wonder if it is going to be too long to manage in future. -- Taku 01:52, July 29, 2005 (UTC)

fusensho - Information on default wins and losses in sumo, as well as the result of injuries on scheduling and the like.
torinaoshi - Information on do-overs in sumo, related quite closely to the previous shini-tai in the sense that they're complimentary.
Shini-tai - Information on a sumo ruling stating that one wrestler had clearly superior technique that wins the match, regardless of who actually touched the ground or went out first.
Hojo Tokimasa. Information from [1] as well as from "A History of Japan: to 1334" by G. Sansom. Still working on it. Be done by tonight. I'll see about doing Hojo Masako or Hojo Yoshitoki tonight. Hiroshi66 15:07, July 26, 2005 (UTC)

Imagawa Sadayo. I can't track down the kanji for his name, but if anyone happens to know feel free to add it to the article.--AngusH 00:45, 11 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Hosu District, Ishikawa from info in Japanese Wikipedia. Please correct any errors and expand. In particular, I'd appreciate it if someone could add why this name was chosen for the merged district (I don't understand what the ja: article is saying about this). -- Rick Block (talk) July 9, 2005 03:51 (UTC)
I noted that the name takes one kanji from each of the two districts that merged; that didn't seem clear in the Japanese. (It's a common enough pattern in mergers; see e.g. Kunitachi, Tokyo. It's also common in names of train lines such as Tokyu Toyoko Line (Tokyo and Yokohama) and local and long-distance highways, e.g. Tomei Expressway (Tokyo and Nagoya).) Separately, I wonder if it's necessary to call articles like these stubs. Surely they can grow, but they could spend years at something like this level of detail. Any opinions?
Naka-ku, Yokohama using info from Japanese Wikipedia. If I've made any mistakes, please help! Fg2 July 8, 2005 11:38 (UTC)
Nishi-Nippon Railroad was a red link, although it's one of the Big 15 railroads in Japan, so I put up a couple of sentences. Fg2 July 7, 2005 05:50 (UTC)
Omiai: replaced experiment with stub. Fg2 July 2, 2005 08:37 (UTC)
Rail transport in Japan, candidate for collaboration of the week. I started (with the intent of getting rid of the red link) by copying material from another article and have augmented it with additional material. Fg2
