 * Symbol question.svg New interesting article. Long enough. Posted by DYK due date. Well sourced and well written. Earwig's Copyvio Detector: violation unlikely. QPQ done. Part of the hook verified on Musée d'Orsay website, part accepted AGF since the source is in Japanese language. Do you have a source for the title of the article? I looked for any reliable source that lists "Founding of the Nation" as Kiyoo's painting, and I haven't found one. I do see support for Kenkoku, as well as "Foundation of a State" as the title on pages 14, 15 and 31 of this, and page 199 of this. May be a minor point, but why not stick with painting title in the published sources? Your clarification would be helpful. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 21:52, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
 * This is specific English-language academic support (kenkoku is a transliteration of the two characters, meaning build/found and country/province/nation/state - there are no articles in Japanese); see also National Foundation Day and Kenkoku University; thanks, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 23:40, 17 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg for the hook. Thank you for the clarification. Please add this new source link to the lead sentence or somewhere in the article. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 23:59, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
