I have taken off the translation box, regarding the cultural bit at the end, I am not sure if it should really be included, since many literatures are not very well known in Eng at all. 我 (talk) 00:43, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I have been doing some copyediting on the article, but I have the major problem that there are many individuals with only Chinese character names, which is not acceptable in an English language article. This article remains in need of improvement, including a fix of the Chinese names. Other editors must help before the Guild of Copy Editors will return. --DThomsen8 (talk) 22:37, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Is there any source that the oil used here is tung oil?
My reason for questioning this is simple: I'm a woodworker, I use tung oil a lot, I oil paper and I don't use tung oil on paper. It yellows within a year or so. You just can't avoid this. Now for umbrellas, it's not such a problem – they're generally lacquered too (the persimmon tannin), so the colour is from the lacquer, not the oil. However the many Japanese uses for translucent oiled paper just don't work if you use tung.
