| Comment | Why in the world is not Shoutoku Taishi not an entry here. He was a man of some accomplishment, having brought back to Japan the Chinese characters (Kanji) so the Japanese, especially the Osaka merchants, would have a writing system. His face is not on Japanese currency for no reason at all, yet not in Edict. |
