Contradictory claims edit
The article says up top:
- What is now known as the "Sumida River" was previously the path of the Ara-kawa. However, towards the end of the Meiji era work was carried out to divert the main flow of the Ara-kawa to prevent flooding.
This clearly implies that the Sumida didn't exist as such until the Ara was diverted from it, or at best that some other river was known by that name before. However, further down it says:
- The kabuki play, Sumida-gawa ... was first produced in Osaka in 1784.
Considering that the Meiji era ended in 1912, some relevant fact has clearly been left out of the article. Anyone care to fill it in? 192.91.171.36 (talk) 04:23, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
Links edit
Some wonderful person recently took pictures of several of these bridges, and linked them here. If you are that person, "Thank you so much, (ありがとう)". However, according to item 5 in the "Don't" column on the Wikipedia style sheet (the directions on the correct way to present text to the reader) you should not put anything in the reading text of the page of the kind I removed. So I edited the Wiki Markup Language to conform to the style sheet. This section can now act as a tutorial for the original photo editor. Nick Beeson (talk) 12:59, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
