Streetscape of Mitarai, Ōsakishimojima

• ... that the daimyo of Kumamoto is said to have spent a thousand gold pieces in one night at a teahouse on the island of Ōsakishimojima?

"The old town of Mitarai lies at the eastern tip of the island of Osakishimojima [...] an entire teahouse, the Waka Ebisu-ya, the largest chaya in the Inland Sea, which in its time housed a hundred girls, where Hosokawa, the daimyo of Kumamoto, spent a thousand gold pieces in one night"

• I'll take a look. Schwede66 23:13, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
• Article is new and neutral. Earwig is clean. It's technically long enough at 1700 kB of prose, but it is marked with a stub tag and I consider that the correct assessment as it does feel stubby. DYK does not run stubs, though. The article uses bare URLs and that's not good enough for DYK. There are several unreferenced paragraphs and that's a showstopper. Hook fact is referenced, checks out, and is interesting. The photo is freely licensed but not overly interesting. Overall, this feels like a work in progress; it's nowhere near ready for DYK in its current state. Schwede66 23:33, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
  • @Schwede66: Please take another look: I have extended the content, swapped in a more interesting photo and added references for basically all statements. If there's something specific you think is still missing, let me know. Jpatokal (talk) 10:15, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

• @Schwede66: Is this ready to be approved? If not, what else is needed? Z1720 (talk) 06:10, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

• Yeah, sorry. I did get the ping but then forgot all about it. Article is now good enough. The photo is adequately licensed. Good to go. Schwede66 06:23, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
