Talk:Urasenke

I think this article could probably have the stub tags removed.

I also added "Japanese culture" category to the "Japanese tea ceremony" category.Paul E. Ester 13:48, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

The official website for 武者小路千家 is not available in English; however, it does give romanization for their name, as follows: Mushakouji Senke. Unlike Omotesenke and Urasenke, they separate the "senke" and capitalize the first letter. Also, they do not read their name with the extra "no" (Mushanokōji) that does not appear in the kanji, and, avoiding the otherwise necessary diacritical macron, they romanize こうじ（小路）as kouji. In light of all this, the romanization for 武者小路千家 seems to require reconsideration in this and other WikiProject Japan articles where it appears. Tksb (talk) 04:12, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Italization of Urasenke (as well as Omotesenke and Mushakojisenke)
At this late date, I have just realized that sometime between 2015 and 2016, the headings for the wikipedia pages for Urasenke, Omotesenke, and Mushakojisenke became italicized. These are the widely recognized proper noun names of the three Sen family-line traditions of chado descended from Sen Rikyu. And they are officially used by and for them in Japan and internationally. They should not be treated as foreign-language terminology.Tksb (talk) 01:56, 24 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank you for pointing this out - I'll fix that now. --Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) 18:10, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

stub templates removal
The article has been expanded considerably since it was given status as a Japan School, Japan Organization, and Japan Culture stub. Therefore, I have removed all three stub templates.Tksb (talk) 02:35, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Urasenke catagorized as a school
Urasenke is a "school" in the sense that it is a chanoyu ryūha, not in itself a gakkō (though it does, as one of its facilities, have an affiliated professional school). Unfortunately, the English word "school" is applied for both of those Japanese terms, leading to critical misconceptions. I will remove Urasenke from the wikipedia list of "schools around the world."Tksb (talk) 02:57, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
