I have removed the clause:

, the latter containing the phrase senshūraku, "pleasures of a thousand autumns," familiar to sumo fans as the name of the last day of a professional tournament. ("Izutsu" and "Takasago" are also the names of sumo heya.)

(about Takasago). Nothing against sumo, but this belongs into a sumo-related article, not here. From there one could link here, if it matters. Nannus 22:59, 13 July 2006 (UTC)


I removed some biased phrases and re-organised the info available as best I could, perhaps there is a better way of arranging it (or naming the sections) though. I also removed the sentence "There is a historical novel about Zeami's life written by Noboku Albery". If anyone wants to look into what the novel is called they could add it to the Further Reading section. KZF 17:08, 28 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Zeami + the Ashikaga shogun

Can we get a direct source on that? I'm in the middle of a Premodern Japanese class and the professor just mentioned this as being "rumor". This wasn't precisely uncommon behavior for the time, of course, and I'm sure no one would question this, but something like this shouldn't go unreferenced.

I don't think it's a rumor. At least a lot of pages on the web, including one of the NHK program page, say so. [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], Page 1 line 9 to 10, and Yoshimitsu is mentioned on page 30. Oda Mari (talk) 08:25, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
