Vandalism

Due to many of the most recent edits being vandalism, I would like to suggest either Pending Changes protection or Semi-Protection.

End of the shogunate, wrong proclamation (王政復古の大号令)

The English translation of Meiji Tennō's proclamation from January 3, 1868 is wrong. It refers to Satow (A Diplomat In Japan, p. 353), but Satow gives another date, Feb. 3, 1868. Satow's text is clearly a diplomatic note to foreign embassies, while the proclamation of Jan. 3 [Keiō 3/12/9] is directed to the Japanese people. It is also much more detailed and can be found here: https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%8E%8B%E6%94%BF%E5%BE%A9%E5%8F%A4_(%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC)#%E7%8E%8B%E6%94%BF%E5%BE%A9%E5%8F%A4%E3%81%AE%E5%A4%A7%E5%8F%B7%E4%BB%A4 --Bescheid (talk) 09:06, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

End of the shogunate: What edict?

There's reference to "the young Emperor's edict" of 3 January. It's unclear what is being referred to here, although I note there is reference elsewhere in this talk page to a 'proclamation' of that date. The Charter Oath seems to be something different as that was in April according to the linked article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SDavies (talk • contribs) 18:06, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

Homosexuality

It should be added that though Japan doesn't have any recorded history of criminalizing homosexuality it was during the Meiji Restoration from 1872 to 1880 where homosexuality was briefly criminalized 197.186.3.115 (talk) 21:29, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
