Translation in progress

I'm going to start adding material from the Japanese version of this page, which is vastly longer. Someone should check my translation if anything seems off. Franzeska 18:00, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

How better to present these dates?

In the Kugyō section:

 .................................................... lifetime, 897-930
 .... time in office (899-909)
 .......... Sadaijin (899-909), Fujiwara no Tokihira　(藤原時平), 897-930

Sadaijin, Fujiwara no Tokihira　(藤原時平), 899-909.^[1]
Sadaijin, Fujiwara no Tadahira　(藤原忠平),　924-936.^[2]
Udaijin, Sugawara no Michizane　(菅原道真),　899-901.^[3]
Udaijin, Minamoto no Hikaru　(源光),　901-913.^[4]
Udaijin, Fujiwara no Tadahira　(藤原忠平),　914-924.^[5]
Udaijin, Fujiwara no Sadakata　(藤原定方),　924-932.^[6]
Naidaijin, Fujiwara no Takafuji　(藤原高藤),　900.^[7]

In the intial edit, I intended to present the dates during which someone held a specific court title, but that now seems too ambitious for a start-level article. The intention had been to explain the sequence of serial officeholders with these dates.

Instead, it's probably better to simply list the birth/death dates. Arguably, it might be possible (or even preferable) to include both sets of dates as the information becomes available ...? --Ooperhoofd 22:46, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Needs reference?

This paragraph was posted, but there is no reference -- and it as likely to be inaccurate as it is to be entirely factual. So, I've posted it here temporarily while I continue to look into the unanswered questions:

"The name Daigo comes from Daigo Temple, which is located in Kyoto and was Emperor Daigo's official temple during his life. Daigo temple in turn takes its name from daigo, or ghee in English, which is the most refined of the 5 flavors of Buddhism (milk, cream, curdled butter, butter and ghee). It is said that when a buddhist monk climbed the mountain on which Daigo temple is now located and tasted the water from a spring there, he exclaimed that the water had the finest taste of ghee (daigo), and proceeded to build a temple there of the same name."
