This article is about a particular location in Tokyo that is not particularly notable by itself. I would be amenable to merging it to an article describing the "seven capes" of Tokyo, should that be notable enough to pass muster. armagebedar (talk) 05:50, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as it was the subject of multiple Hiroshige paintings. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 06:22, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

comment. I'm not entirely convinced of this one. The article itself seems to say that it isn't even sure that this is the location that Hiroshige's print is supposed to show. How much of the information in the article can actually be verified? --Paularblaster (talk) 14:49, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

comment I believe you can find the place-name Yatsuyama (八つ山) in the painting drawn by Hiroshige. I know another painting also showing Yatsuyama (八つ山), which I can't find on the web yet. --Excavator (talk) 03:23, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It would certainly seem so, and the Brooklyn Museum of Art also accepts the 100 Famous Views print as being of a brothel at Yatsuyama. So are there two different locations called Tsuki no Misaki? Or is Hiroshige just using it as a (generic?) title for pictures of moons viewed from headlands? (I've also come across an award-winning play, apparently set in Nagasaki, with the title Tsuki no Misaki, so if we have three distinct notable items that take the same name, perhaps we need to disambiguate?) --Paularblaster (talk) 00:02, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Keep Based on the article, not my personal reading of the Japanese sources, it's notable in a range of Japanese literature and art. DGG ( talk ) 04:06, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep in concordance with DGG. I can't read these sources, but I'd like to give the benefit of the doubt and assume on good faith that the references bear out the information in the article--which makes the subject notable. Drmies (talk) 04:57, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per three above keeps.--Epeefleche (talk) 07:29, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
comment on Paularblaster's issues: Hiroshige's Tsuki no Misaki or Yatsuyama was not associated with any other documents in Edo period as far as I know. Concerning the award-winning play Tsuki no Misaki, some information on the web shows it is a play in an isolated island --- the island name doesn't appear. So, I guess it is a symbolic name or something. I also checked whether Tsuki no Misaki is in Nagasaki by using the service of Geographical Survey Institute, one of governmental institutes in Japan, but the result was negative. --Excavator (talk) 14:04, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
