Added kana readings for most of Brian's great karuta images[1]. The pre-simplification hiragana ("yi," "ye," etc.) still need to be done.MikeDockery08:09, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Just woteObake karuta. Now I wonder if it should be merged withkaruta, though. SeeTalk:Karuta to discuss. I also uploaded a bunch ofobake karuta images to Commons (seethe category). The creatures and hiragana in these need to be identified in their description pages. And they make great illustrations for articles! —BrianSmithson20:53, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I posted a question regarding the naming convention of kami with long names. I'd like to standardize it or set up something like a manual of style. Please join the discussion and go to Talk page. --Shinkansen Fan (talk)17:22, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
In addition towriting great articles about Japanese mythology, our goal is also toillustrate these articles. Fortunately, Japan has a longartistic tradition that stretches back hundreds of years. This means that much Japanese art is in thepublic domain. Moreover, Japan's mythology is an integral part of its culture, which means that Wikipedia editors who live in or take a trip to Japan have myriad opportunities to photograph shrines, statues, masks, and other mythology-related items.
If you have an image you would like to contribute, please upload it toWikimedia Commons. That way, users of Wikipedia's sister projects can also have access to the image. Don't forget to choose an image license (generally {{GFDL}} if you took the photo yourself or {{PD-art}} if its a public-domain artwork).
