help a lot with this page if wanted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.146.45.126 (talk) 12:02, 15 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

I was tasked to edit Wikipedia, so I've tried to quickly clarify and expand on a few points I noticed in the article.

It's a subjective issue, but I removed the curious references (it looked like third-hand sources rather than a copy of the text or secondary-source analysis), and thought it would be better to give the eight bridges poem (giving editors the chance to continue and include images and an exploration of themes from that, for example; it is very well known).

I have little more time, but I'd suggest more work on elaborating the evolution of the text, an exploration of the central character, thematic aspects and further example poems (and associated images).

I noticed the article hasn't been given an importance by the Japan project, but I'd suggest it's a good one to work on - it's an easy book to cover, you could really expand the Rinpa school artistic works inspired by the Tales, and it'll give an interesting compliment to the other Tales articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.115.17.125 (talk) 16:45, 28 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
