Talk:Hiroshige

message: Following  Wikipedia policy on article names (which says "What .. would the average user of the Wikipedia put into the search engine?") we have been listing Japanese woodblock prints artists under the names they are commonly known by in the West - which means we do not use their complete names (which are rarely used in the West, and for artists of this era change over time anyway). Please see Talk:Sharaku for an extended discussion on this topic. Please leave them where they are. Thank you. --Noel 20:36, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: I've deleted the original copyvio article and replaced it with the temp article, as requested (I've also reformatted the new article, so that the image and text are properly aligned).  Good luck with the rewrite! --Mel Etitis  (Μελ Ετητης) 09:07, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Replacement of copyvio 

message: We haven't used it as a reference for the new article, and it may invite others to copy stuff from there too (because the webmuseum pages are supposedly GFDL compatible). What do you think about removing the reference section for now? --Rl 21:13, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I dunno... If we remove it, some well-intentioned soul could well come by and readd it or its material, unwittingly; and it would be too easy to simply forget to re-add it.  Perhaps we can simply add a note to the effect that it's non-free? Also: what was up with your recent edits? Pretty strange prose. --Maru 02:33, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Removing webmuseum link

message: What is up with this guy's name?  I've seen "Andro Hiroshige", "Ando Hiroshige", and "Ichiyusai Hiroshige". Which is right? For that matter, how do you pronounce "Hiroshige" anyway? --Maru 03:49, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The German WP mentions that later he was called 歌川広重 (Utagawa Hiroshige). – The Andro or Andō is most likely just an artifact from different people trying to write a Japanese name with Roman letters. Hmm... I guess that wasn't all that helpful, was it? :-) --Rl 07:17, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: So I guess we can use "Utagawa Hiroshige" (Western naming order, right?) as the standard, since Andro and Ando are according to you bad romanizations. But that doesn't explain "Ichiyusai". --Maru 18:03, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: You are right, it doesn't. And you should ignore me, I am just guessing. It's pretty obvious that Andro and Andō are both the same name written differently. The others are distinct. I found this name on the web: "Utagawa (Ando Tokutaro) Hiroshige". Oops, yet another name. Tokutaro. The only constant is Hiroshige. Except that he is also known as Hiroshige I, because he had a student who became known as Hiroshige II. Fun, ain't it? --Rl 18:40, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I knew about Hiroshige II, since one of the prints up at the Brorklyn Museum was his, and he edited and expanded the 100 famous views of places to its grand total (of I think) 118 woodblock prints.  Sounds like a lot of redirects are warranted. *sigh*.  But can we agree on "Utagawa Hiroshige"?  Or do you think another is more suitable? --Maru 19:15, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Google counts some 20'000 pages for both Ando and Utagawa. The article should mention both. I just wish I could tell the reader how each name came about. Alas, I have no clue. — By the way, you could look at other articles with similar issues for inspiration, say Vladimir Lenin. --Rl 19:28, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: _Sigh_. I really want to make a good article of this, but I just don't have the background.  Oh well.  We'll do what we can, and hope that'll not be too bad. --Maru 04:35, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Possible External Link

message: I like this article, but for a B-Class assessment to hold, it needs more citations at the end of paragraphs. Viriditas (talk) 10:24, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Needs more inline references 

message: This website claims that 'Hiroshige passed away on the sixth day of September of the year 1858' rather than the date currently in the infobox. Can anyone who can translate the text in :File:Portrait à la mémoire d'Hiroshige par Kunisada.jpg confirm if this is true? JMiall₰ 16:19, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I imagine it's because the Japanese government didn't adopt the Gregorian calendar until 9 November 1872.  Months and days before that are based on the lunisolar calendar.  I don't know of a site that can do it, but I imagine converting "sixth day of ninth month of Ansei" to Gregorian will give you 12 October 1858. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 21:09, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: this site does the conversion and it does. So the quote above is based on a misunderstanding rather than the different dates originating from different sources. Good. JMiall₰ 21:39, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I have a series of originals. I bought 10 original pieces of what looks like samurai preparing for battle and the travels they took. Two have slight water damage on the corner. Looks like they are ink on old rice paper. Anyone know where I can have them appraised? Or can point me in the right direction for a buyer. These should be in a gallery somewhere. Thanks for any help and your time. Orbit442 (talk) 07:01, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
