Kishu
Welcome to Wikipedia. Kishu ken is not a national treasure/国宝. They are /天然記念物. So please correct your edit. Thank you. Oda Mari (talk) 19:38, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

P.S. Sorry, but I copy-edited it. Please read this and learn more about Wikipedia. Regards. Oda Mari (talk) 19:57, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi, please, could you explain why do you see the necessity to make edits that do not add any value to the article but just swap the order of "Kishu Ken" and "Kishu Inu" so that "Ken" is always the first? The name "Kishu Inu" is far more popular than "Kishu Ken" (ATM, the results on Google are 208000×Kishu Inu vs 82400×Kishu Ken). I have no Japanese at hand to ask, but looking at the dictionary, "Inu" means "dog" while "Ken" means "authority, the right (to do something),  prefecture, and, in addition, concurrently, economy, health, strength, stick-to-itiveness, heaven, emperor, matter, case, item, sphere, circle, range, sword, sabre, blade, bayonet, sting, clock hand, tendon, ticket, coupon, bond, certificate" ... nothing that clear, so "Kishu Ken" (although widely used) looks to me wrong in comparison to "Kishu Inu". --62.40.79.66 (talk) 14:56, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
