The area marked "Mizuya" in the diagram apparently is a rather oversized mizuya dōko. The diagram shows that it is open on the tearoom side and is enclosed by walls on the other three sides. No "backroom" mizuya area could be so small and have that configuration. I am therefore taking the liberty of deleting the diagram.Tksb (talk) 08:32, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tksb (talk) 02:16, 1 May 2011 (UTC)== Exact spelling of "doko"? == I have to admit I don't know anything about the characters used for transliteration of Japanese, but I see the word "dōko" used with two different diacritic sets. In this article, only the first "o"s has a bar over it; in other places in Wikipedia (such as a caption in Tatami#Use), both "o"s have bars.[reply]

A quick Google search shows both spellings are found out there. Is one of them correct, or are they both acceptable? Mavwreck (talk) 19:19, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The term is correctly pronunced dōko.Tksb (talk) 02:16, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
