[edit]

The first two paragraphs of this article have been directly copied (including spelling mistakes) from the first reference listed (http://www.japanarts.jp/archives/2006/08/historydoll_hakata.html). I am rewording them both for clarify and to avoid plagiarism.

I don't understand the last bit of the third paragraph: "its bad quality that was produced factory simultaneously closed appear. Although the image is no longer popular, a few tradition craftwork technician is conveying their skill in the near future." I assume that the first part means that factory-produced hakata dolls of poor quality appeared as the dolls gained popularity after World War II, and that the second part means that some artisans are once again producing Hakata dolls in the traditional way, but some of the words don't make sense to me in that context ("closed" and "in the near future" in particular--are artisans currently making traditional Hakata dolls at the moment or are they only talking about it?). I am changing the text to say this clearly, but if I am mistaken please correct it or let me know here. Clockwork 20:35, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I also corrected and clarified a couple of facts, including the name of the particular fair in Paris at which Hakama-doll artisans were awarded medals. Clockwork 22:15, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
