 * Comment: The source for the hook is at HighBeam Research and so isn't accessible to many editors; however the relevant text of the Boston Globe article can be seen in a Google News Archive snippet here.

 * Length, date, hook length OK. My Highbeam account has apparently expired, but snippet checks out. No paraphrasing concerns in the article text. I removed the stub assessment from the talkpage and left an explanation: this isn't a stub in any case. One concern: the hook is pretty close to the cited snippet (no concern about the article content).  Acroterion   (talk)   02:59, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
 * See your point, they are a bit similar - I hadn't noticed that. How about ALT1: "... that basketry artist Shōkansai Iizuka devoted the first decade of his training to the correct method of cutting bamboo?" Yunshui 雲 &zwj; 水  07:05, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Alt. 1 looks fine, good to go.  Acroterion   (talk)   11:51, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
