There is double talk in the article. That's why I took it out.[edit]

Kaji, along with Wataru Masuda were the only Japanese who had the opportunity to directly learn about Chinese literature from Lu Xun. Kaji was the last Japanese who formed a close relationship with Lu Xun before Lu Xun passed away in Oct 1936.[4]

Kaji and his wife Yuki were also part of a diaspora of Japanese antiwar writers who lived in China, and were involved with Chinese literary circles.[7] Kaji Wataru was the only other Japanese besides Masuda Wataru who had the opportunity to directly learn about Chinese literature from Lu Xun. Kaji formed a close relationship with Lu Xun before his death. [8](Greg723 (talk) 19:37, 5 February 2014 (UTC))[reply]

I took out a portion[edit]

Concerning Kaji and his wife Yuki were also part of a diaspora of Japanese antiwar writers who lived in China, and were involved with Chinese literary circles.^[1] Alot of them congregating at Kanzo Uchiyama's bookstore.^[2] I took out Alot of them congregating at Kanzo Uchiyama's bookstore.^[3] Because there from different sources, and I think i'm jumping to conclusion when I say all the anti-war writers of japanese descent visited the bookstore. If there is a problem, the portion i taken out is here. (Greg723 (talk) 03:32, 6 February 2014 (UTC))[reply]

The reference Sino-Japanese Transculturation: Late Nineteenth Century to the End of the ... edited by Richard King, Cody Poulton, Katsuhiko Endo Page 114 was misinterpreted. The reference's page also only mentions an Ikeda Sachiko not yuki ikeda. A "diaspora of Japanese antiwar writers who lived in China" was not mentioned in the page.(Greg723 (talk) 01:40, 8 September 2014 (UTC)).[reply]
