Talk:Yamagata

The prefectural map certainly is useful on the city page, if you want to see where Yamagata is located within Yamagata prefecture, which many of us do. Ideally there would be two maps, I think — one showing the city, and the other showing the city's location in the prefecture. --(WT-en) Orcrist 07:31, 13 July 2011 (EDT)

• I think there might be other prefecture maps that would be better — for example, a map of the prefecture with only Yamagata city highlighted — such a map would be readable even when small and would focus only on Yamagata city. But since I don't have one of those lying around right now, this one seems like a reasonable first step. --(WT-en) Orcrist 07:32, 13 July 2011 (EDT)

Retired Kokeshi Maker

Maybe it doesn't even need to be here, but the painter/creator retired, so the shop is closed:

• 1 Ishiyama Kokeshiya (石山こけし店), 4284 Yamadera, ☏ +81 23-695-2947. 8:30AM-5PM. Every part of the Tohoku Region is famous for producing its own style of kokeshi. Here at Ishiyama Kokeshiya, visitors can paint their own kokeshi dolls. If you simply want to purchase the dolls, you can do that in the shop. ¥500 to paint your own kokeshi..
