Our 11th update is here.

Current Totals Pages: 689 Current Total Wanted Pages: 430

Alot of updated information in Wiki Updates #11 for certain Shinto kami as we have been researching them for episode 21 of the podcast.

We finally finished adding all the ‘wanted pages’ for Provinces for the time being. Pretty sure, sooner or later more ‘Provinces’ will have wanted pages.

I just want to say, we by no means want to only be adding pages to this site which relate to our podcast, we want to provide for you all parts of Japanese History. It is just taking us a bit of time right now around work commitments.

We are thinking now also to give you a quick tally on these posts of our total pages as well as the total amount of ‘wanted pages’ this site currently has links for (as above) but which we haven’t gotten around to creating yet.

Hopefully this will show you what we are dealing with as we slowly but surely keep adding to this site to try and make it a useful resource for Japanese History.

Wiki Updates #10 is here.

And if I am honest there isn’t much new for you since we last posted. We have added alot of redirect pages to make it easier for people to find certain pages.

This is especially true as we have started to look into various job and roles for both those of the Japanese Court and the Imperial Family.

We have collected them into two seperated pages

Court Titles and Imperial Titles.

Court Titles currently contain the jobs known as:

• Daijin, Nagon, Naidaijin, Dainaiki, Dajō daijin, Dainagon, Udajin, Sadaijin

And the Imperial Titles now list these occupations:

• Jōkō, Hōō, In, Dajō-Hōō, Daijō Tennō, Dajō-kō, Chūgū, Kōgō, Kōtaigō, Ōkisaki, Hō-Shinnō

Aside from all of this we have had for a while a growing set of links to ‘Provinces’ which did not exist on the site. Considering this was a growing ‘theme’ of wanted pages we looked into getting most of these out the way, and they are listed below:

• Hida Province
• Hizen Province
• Izumo Province
• Kaga Province
• Kii Province
• Omi Province
• Shimotsuke Province

By next week we will have got all the ‘Wanted Province’ pages added to the site.

That’s it for now guys.

Talk to you all soon.
