Talk:Amaterasu

Image
Should this page not have a picture of the goddess herself, rather than just the same torii as appears in Japanese mythology? elvenscout742 19:31, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC) I saw a picture of amaterasu on this page http://www.h2.dion.ne.jp/~albireo/NewFiles/kodai%20illust/amaterasu.jpg. If it can be used please do so.

Spelling
Is the alternative spelling "AmateraTsu" correct? The relatively few Google hits seem to be typos or bogus "corrections" by non-Japanese. Can anyone check? Jorge Stolfi 02:33, 14 Apr 2004 (UTC)


 * Hmm, I've never heard of the "&#12450;&#12510;&#12486;&#12521;&#12484;" spelling or reading in Japan. At least the relevant edits seem not to be based on so accurate information. Mulukhiyya 03:07, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)


 * Looking it up on google seems to suggest that, yeah, they are just typos and other common mistakes. Dictionary.com also has two entries for "Amaterasu" and none for "Amateratsu." (UrbanDictionary also has one post for Amaterasu, and none for Amateratsu.) - Checking out Everything2, there were two hits for Amaterasu and, again, None for Amateratsu. I think it would be safe to assume that the correct spelling is "Amaterasu." I've gone ahead and removed the alternate spelling from the article, along with the question marks.


 * I've never seen it spelled "Amateratsu" anywhere.

Current Emperor's Birthday
The current emperor's birthday is December 23. Not the 21st, as is stated in the article. The Wiki for 明仁 (Akihito) is correct.

Could someone help...?
I need to know how "Amaterasu-no-omi-kami" is written in Japanese (I'm drawing her and I want to write the name in kanji next to her, but although I'm learning Japanese I still don't know almost any kanji). But I can't see it in the article 'cause my computer isn't enabled to read Japanese and the disc I should use to install it is broken! So, could anyone please help? Either send me an image with the kanji written on it or tell me if there's any chance I can dowload a support pack or something (I tried in the Microsoft page but none of those files can even be opened with my computer...).

Thanks in advance,
