Emperor Chūai

Hello all, I have been working to improve the articles regarding Japan's first emperors. Would anyone like to kindly check out the article I just fixed up and give feedback? - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 15:18, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

Images: originals? copies?

Hello - and sorry for the silly question, but I've just stumbled on the following database, which seemingly has 900+ images of historical figures: 史料編纂所所蔵肖像画模本データベース [1] My question is, before I clutter the place up with lots of fakes - are these the original paintings or copies? They mostly look like the originals to me: eg in this image, has a copiest gone to extraordinary lengths? The entry includes【模写年月日】1929（昭和4年歳晩）- does that refer to an invisible copy? What about that of 東山天皇 (haven't figured out how to link to individual entries) compared with that on Commons? Two different paintings of the same emperor at Sennyuji? For what it's worth this source seems to think it's reproductions. This is what the database has to say: 　明治以来、東京大学史料編纂所では『大日本史料』の編纂に役立てるため数多くの絵画史料を模写本の形で収集してきた。その中心をなすのが、近世までの歴史的な人物の肖像画である。その総数は900点に上り、国の機関の行った収集事業としてはほかに例を見ない規模のコレクションとなっている。模写の技術的な出来映えは様々とはいえ概して高く、なかには現在所在が不明のものや既に失われた史料もあり、この面からも貴重な存在といえよう。 近年、肖像画に興味を抱く人々は多い。もちろん、肖像画原本に即した研究の重要性に変りはないが、全国に数多く存在する肖像画のデータベース化とそれへの簡便なアクセスも望まれるところである。そうした要求にこたえるべく開発されたのが「史料編纂所所蔵肖像画模本データベース」である。 概略は以下の凡例を参照願いたいが、史料編纂所が所蔵する肖像画模本を対象として、史料としての肖像画のデータベース化を試みるものである。 今回は本所所蔵肖像画模本のうち、戦国武将の肖像画を中心に３７５点をデータベース化した。残りについても順次データベース化・公開を進める予定である。 ThanksMaculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 01:00, 10 August 2019 (UTC) PS this is an interesting pairing: 小早川隆景画像 in the database (upper of the two hits) compared with [2] on the municipality website; possibly some conservation treatment, but one looks like it's on silk the other on paper...
