Davebtokyo is an American citizen who has lived in Japan since 1984.

I speak Japanese fluently, and read and write it passably well.

Project plans:

I have recently done some research on a couple Japanese sculptors of the Meiji and early 20thC, Takamura Kōun and one of his disciples, Chōun Yamazaki. Takamura Kōun has a stub. There isn't even a stub for Chōun Yamazaki, although both have short entries in the Japanese Wikipedia 山崎朝雲 Chōun Yamazaki. . I plan to translate the Japanese stubs, and then add some additional material.

I have interviewed one of Chōun Yamazaki's decendants, Ryo Yamazaki. In historical works it is common to cite personal interviews and unpublished papers. How should these materials be cited in Wikipedia? {helpme}
