History of Nozawana
editThe article states that "Sometime between 1751-1764..." the plant was taken from the mountains of Kyoto to Nozawa village. However, the Japanese version of this article states that "しかし、種子表皮細胞ほかに対する遺伝的研究[1]から、これは否定されている。"[1], which is to say that this story is refuted by genetic studies of the plant(s). I updated the article to reflect this, vaguely, sort of. 220.254.1.149 (talk) 05:07, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

- ... that the Japanese Nozawana plant (pictured) got its name from skiers visiting Nozawaonsen impressed by the pickled turnip?

- AGF on the source due to the language barrier. The hook is certainly interesting, but it feels like it's missing a few words; surely "skiers visiting Nozawaonsen who were impressed by the pickled turnip?" Also, within the article, I'm very confused what the phrase "called the plant a turnip (turnip)" means. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 15:42, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
- The word in parentheses should have been edited out. The sentence in question,"local villagers called the plant a turnip, but visiting skiers from the city who visited a local ski resort were so impressed by the pickled turnip that they nicknamed it "Nozawanazuke"." How to say that they skiers came, ate the local pickled food product and gave it a new name? --evrik (talk) 15:50, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you! And hmmm... how about "... that skiers at Nozawaonsen were so impressed by its pickled turnip they it was named the "Nozawa vegetable"? Since it being Japanese isn't strictly needed to understand the story (and probably would be inferred), but na meaning vegetable might not be clear from context.
