      • Well, that's the ridiculous name the national treasures folk give it. It's probably got another name that everyone else uses. Same deal with the Hikone screen. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 20:56, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

• Maybe we can involve Curly Turkey...looks to me he needs some recreation from hiscurrentactivities. His Japanese should be up to date, since he was living in Japan for the last couple of years. Hafspajen (talk) 12:49, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
  • As a national treasure, I imagine there should be sufficient RSes to put together an article, though ja.wp doesn't have one. I started an article on another national treasure & byōbu, the Hikone screen, a while ago, but haven't had the time to fill it out yet. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 20:51, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

• Just start a stub, Curly Turkey. Hafspajen (talk) 21:24, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
  • Okay, I've done it (Cypress Trees screen). It's uncited, though, and may need to be retitled. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 21:50, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
