Image of Imperial symbol

edit

The Imperial mon (emblem) was added in the Notes section in 2010. In 2012, the image was removed from this and other articles about Japanese emperors -- compare here. Zenwort's edit summary is clear and reasonable --img of Imperial seal removed, this was not used before the Muromachi era

The use of this symbol is justified because this article is an important part of a grouping of articles about the emperors of Japan -- see Imperial Household Agency (Kunaichō): 崇神天皇 (10). Does this rationale provide a good enough reason for it to be restored? --Enkyo2 (talk) 15:30, 28 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Dr. Stephen Turnbull in his 1982 book (Book of the Samurai: Warrior class of Japan) places Sujin at 200 C.E., not 97 B.C.

paucity?

edit

In the "Legendary narrative" section in the second paragraph the following sentence appears:
"Sujin is regarded by historians as a "legendary emperor" and the paucity of material information about him makes difficult any further verification and study."
Why the use of such a rare word, what is the significance of using it instead of "scarcity"?
If there is no actual significance I suggest changing it to make the text more readable. 62.219.123.172 (talk) 09:44, 13 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
