  • I have pulled this because I couldn't confirm the hook. The supplied source makes no mention of the claim that the sport "may be unique to the Imperial House of Japan". Gatoclass (talk) 15:45, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
I apologize for this inconvenience and error on my part, Gatoclass. I nominated this mid-writing and never got back around to finishing off the references, which was my oversight. I've updated the article and also copied the citation and refs here as they appear in it. Chetsford (talk) 07:45, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
In modern times, it is believed to be peculiar to Japan generally, and to the Imperial Household specifically.[1][2][3][4]
  • Requesting a new reviewer to check that the hook is now confirmable in the article per DYK rules, since Gatoclass has been unable to return to this nomination. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:03, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
  • Sorry, I forgot about this one. The sourcing could be better, but I think there's probably enough there to confirm the hook - a quick google search also seems to support it. Gatoclass (talk) 09:40, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
