Merge with Kakigōri edit

If there's no merge, the name of this article should be changed, perhaps? That aside, both articles are a little slim, and if shirokuma is simply a variant of kakigori, I'm in favor of putting the two together. -- B.S. Lawrence (talk) 20:04, 26 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

shirokuma is the Japanese word for polar bear, it just a decorative version of kakigouri. -- — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.246.114.72 (talkcontribs) 21:33, 21 July 2014

I am the original author of this article. I would mind, because of the history that goes behind the desert of Shirokuma. It was created in honour of the memory of Saigo Takamori after his battle with the Edo Shogun. I would like to keep the historical and cultural significance of Shirokuma separate from Kakigori. Wouldn't mind a summarised version that leads to this article though. I could arrange for that. How about you B.S. Lawrence?

Agree. I think they should be merged with this as a subsection of Kakigóri.--88.104.141.99 (talk) 18:04, 8 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
