Talk:Kadomatsu

About the photograph

A kadomatsu are things of the height of around 1m to give glory to in front of the gate of the house. There is the one that changes a photograph into small Kadomatsu, but this is Kadomatsu of the toys, and it is not Kadomatsu. I want to have the photograph of genuine Kadomatsu do it. Than a Japanese. 門松は、家の門の前に飾る１ｍ程度の高さのものです。写真を小さい門松に変える方がいますが、これはおもちゃの門松であって、門松ではありません。本来の門松の写真にしていただきたいと思います。日本人より。--116.82.127.55 (talk) 07:42, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Okay, but it is rude of you to entirely remove an image. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 10:28, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Sorry I didn't see this before I replaced the image I put there originally. She/He is wrong in my opinion. Being a long time registered user I wish a discussion to take place before they replace it again. And I find it almost racist that s/he insists s/he is Japanese and implies none of us are, and even if we aren't that we wouldn't know what a kadomatsu is. Even the small ones are kadomatsu so the user needs to debate this before continuing to remove them. A trinket Christmas tree is still a tree and I think the current picture I put up is easier to see and there is nothing wrong with it. Watch, IP might delete it again?? >.< Nesnad (talk) 02:59, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

I offer the thing which a Japanese has best as an image for Kadomatsu. In Japan, we put it with kadomatsu as a pair in front of the gate. Even if the Christmas tree is small, it is a Christmas tree, but Kadomatsu of Mini are not true Kadomatsu.For example, is there a photograph of Mini in Japanese edition Wikipedia? I do not want to introduce the photograph of the Kadomatsu of the imitation towards a foreign country. I want you to know right Japanese culture.

私は、日本人が門松に対するイメージとして一番良いものを提供しています。日本では、門松を対にして門の前に置きます。クリスマスツリーは小さくてもクリスマスツリーですが、Miniの門松は本当の門松ではありません。例えば、日本語版のWikipediaにMiniの写真がありますか？私は外国の方に偽物の門松の写真を紹介したくありません。正しい日本の文化を知ってもらいたいのです。--220.146.125.210 (talk) 12:47, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Anon IP, there is no "right or wrong" culture. Both of those mini kadomatsu could be found in Japan. Thus they are part of the kadomatsu culture. I feel you have good intentions but are being too aggressive, trying to push your point of view in the case. Further, please stop assuming you know more based on any differences in genetic history you may or may not have with other Wikipedia users on the English site. However, to show my good intentions I went out of my way to go find a nice kadomatsu and took a nice close up picture like I think this article deserves and provided it here. Not all wikipedias have to have the same Kadomatsu image. I think the current one can not be argued to be a "mini" kadomatsu (even though that is still part of celebrations here, weather you like it or not.) so I hope it will gave us some agreement.
