5x expanded by Johnbod (talk). Self-nominated at 21:59, 22 October 2016 (UTC).
5x expansion verified. The timing of it is dubious by a strict reading of the DYK rules (it took just over seven days from the beginning of the expansion to the point at which it reached 5x, and the nomination was made nine days from the beginning of the expansion) but I think we frequently afford some slack to nominators in cases like this. The pictured artwork is in the public domain itself and the image of it is properly licensed. Earwig found significant overlap with https://collectionist.wordpress.com/jun-bowls/ but this appears to be a site that copied text from an earlier version of the Wikipedia article, rather than vice versa. Many footnotes repeat each other and should be re-used via the |name=parameter of the reference markup; this is not required for DYK, but it made it difficult to match the "Vainker 102" source in the nomination to the corresponding footnote in the article. In any case, the hook claim appears appropriately sourced, as does the rest of the article, taking offline sources in good faith. QPQ done. Good to go. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:43, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
