Talk:Takiji Kobayashi

Mistaken information on photo

The photo depicting a group of friends surrounding Kobayashi's dead body was not taken at the police station but at the writer's home.

My srouce to assert this is the book For Dignity, Justice and Revolution, in which the story of this picture is explained.

"February 21, 1933, at the Kobayashi home in Mabashi, Tokyo. Extraordinary police surveillance no doubt contributed to the circulation of this famous photograph without the photographer being identified and the dates varying between the twenty-first and twenty-second. The 2014 discovery of original glass plates by Ito Jun, son of Kishi Yamaji, among his father’s belongings corroborates a statement by Kishi in an early postwar discussion with comrades that he took photos the night Takiji’s body was returned. ("Kobayashi Takiji no shi to sono zengo," Shinnihon bungaku [February 1950]). Front left is Kaji Wataru; the blurry figure to his left is Yamada Seizaburo¯; far right, Hara Sen, wife of Nakano Shigeharu." — Preceding unsigned comment added by PurpleDandelion (talk • contribs) 13:47, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

Birthdate?

I was going to add a for this, until I realized that the problem was poor wording, and the koseki is being cited as the source for the October 13 date, not the December 1 date. I checked the sources I have on hand, and the only one that guves his date of birth is ブリタニカ国際大百科事典, which gives the October 13 date. The digital version I have dates to 2007, but I've compared a couple of articles with a hard copy (first edition?) from the 1970s, and the wording of those articles was almost identical, so it's posdible the information is out of date.
