| Comment | I have added in "上釉". This gets some 2k Google hits on a general search and some 42k hits on the images. It appears in text and it is noted by Roy Miller [41].

| Comment | Depending upon the search, sometimes it picks up just under 3k Google hits, sometimes it picks up over 8k. I wonder why that would be!
It appears in text in Roy Miller's reader, but [unless I have missed it] he seems to skip over the reading and explanation; which may mean one of several things: perhaps it is so obvious or perhaps it is not so obvious or perhaps it is a simple slip in my failing to find it. However, the Google searches seems to make the meaning clear, as do the characters themselves. As for the reading, searches throw up both of the readings which I have shown above, but it seems that "どうゆう" is the more frequent. |

| Headword 1 | 強いため |
| Reading 1 | つよいため |
| Part-of-speech | n |
| Comment | The given example is served far better if the meaning "prevalent" is added to つよい. There is already an entry for ため. The analysis given for つよいため is false, it's not just "due to".
In effect, the example sentence means: (低価格競争を繰り広げているの) is because being first leads to victory in the marketplace is a prevalent viewpoint in the industry. |
| Name | Name |

| Editorial Comment | Perhaps making 強いため mean "strongly resulting from" or something like that. I don't think "prevalent" works for 強い. |
