Talk:Iemoto

Expansion
Hmm... Surely there are other iemoto of significance. At the very least, Noh schools should be added here, yes? LordAmeth 17:03, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

It seems rather inappropriate to me to have all the details of the various iemoto of different arts on this page. These details belong in the articles of the respective arts. Surely there are plenty of other arts and their iemoto which are not represented? Where do you draw the line before this page gets out of hand? Djiann 17:47, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Why all the information about the Hon'inbo line of Go, and the various facets of the game of Go, in this article that is supposed to be about Iemoto? There are independent wipidia articles on the Hon'inbo School and the game of Go. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tksb (talk • contribs) 04:14, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Rikyu portrait
Featuring a portrait of Sen Rikyu in an article that is meant to explain about the concept of "iemoto" seems inappropriate. The same portrait is shown in the article devoted to Sen Rikyu, where it appropriately belongs. The concept of "iemoto" does not arise in the history of the tea ceremony until later generations, and so even the three Sen families who have had hereditary iemotos through the generations do not describe Rikyu as the first iemoto in their family. Rikyu is hardly a symbol of the concept of "iemoto," and the portrait of him here seems to put a strange slant on this article.Tksb (talk) 11:05, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Based on the reasons given above, am taking the liberty of deleting the image of Sen Rikyu here.Tksb (talk) 11:02, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
