Talk:Sakubei Yamamoto

To do
A couple of notes from while I was writing the first version:


 * I'm still a little confused about his birthplace. ja-wiki says (per Google Translate) "Tsurumio Kasamatsu Village, Kama District". Y-Sakubei.com says "Tsurumio (presently Iizuka city), in Kasamatsu Mura of the Kamagun". Arima says "Kasamatsu Village (currently Iizuka City), Kama County". What's the link between "Tsurumio" and "Kasamatsu" precisely and, if it's needed for clarity, what does "Mura" mean?


 * I'd also like to find and include full references to published works by and about Sakubei (and ideally make use of them in expanding the article, of course!):
 * Y-Sakubei.com refers to:
 * "Sakubei's first collection. (eiji taisho tanko emaki [Pictures of coalmines in the Meiji/Taisho era], Publishing Committee, 1963)"
 * Life in the Coal Mines: An Anthology (1967) (given as Yama ni ikiru ["Living in the coalmine"], Kodansha, 1967 by the following)
 * Sakubei Yamamoto Anthology: The Chikuho Coal Mine Collection (1973)
 * Arima refers to:
 * Okoku to yami-Yamamoto Sakubei tanko gashu [The Kingdom and Darkness-Collection of Coalmine Paintings of Yamamoto Sakubei] (Ashi Shobo, 1981)
 * Yama no kataribe–Yamamoto Sakubei no sekai [Storyteller of the coalmines–the world of Yamamoto Sakubei], Tagawa City Coal History Museum/Tagawa City Art Museum, 2008
 * "Mokuma Kikuhata, who writes that his encounter with the Sakubei paintings was “the greatest challenge to my philosophy” (Jisei no hijutsu [Secrets for living alone])"
 * Kikuhata, Kawasujiga kyojin Yamamoto Sakubei [Yamamoto Sakubei–a madman of emotionally straight paintings]
 * Tokunaga Keita, Kaiga sakuhin to shite no tanko kirokuga [The artwork of coalmine paintings]
 * This reference itself is given (at the bottom) as "Translated from Yamamoto Sakubei tanko-ga wo megutte: Shometsushita ‘kindai’to sekai kioku isan, Chuo Koron, September 2011, pp.212-221."
