Placename of birth[edit]

I don't think Gunma-ken even existed until 1871 (or Gunma-gun since a little later), so perhaps Suzuki was born in "what is now [blah blah blah]". It's a small and perhaps a trivial point, but pretty easy for Bennett and others to have got right: it makes me wonder how scrupulous they are in more important matters. -- Hoary (talk) 23:51, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, right. The Gunma-gun reference was bothering me, but I couldn't think why... Bennett seems very trustworthy, and it was Isawa writing in 1896 that mentioned Gunma-gun ("Gummagun", actually), presumably not feeling the need to provide the only recently supplanted former name; Bennett reproduces Isawa's text as a facsimile/scan in Old Japan Photographs - so there is no update or alteration. I'll reword the note per your suggestion. Pinkville (talk) 00:28, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nagoya[edit]

"In 1876 Okamoto, now Suzuki, left Shimooka's studio, perhaps to work in a photographic studio in Nagoya, and then under Yokoyama Matsusaburō,<-ref>Nagoya and Yokoyama: as stated in Nihon no shashinka. This information does not appear in other sources that are in other ways more informative on Suzuki than the short article in Nihon no shashinka (which for example does not give even an approximate year of birth or death).<-/ref>"

In fact, Isawa and Bennett say that in 1876 Okamoto started his own studio in Nagoya - no mention of Yokoyama. I wasn't sure whether to alter the existing text and add this or not, so I took the easy path... (and see the CCA authority on Yokoyama, which contains much of what is known about Yokoyama, without mention of Nagoya...) Pinkville (talk) 01:18, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
