Text removed; request further clarification[edit]

I removed the following text:

In 1914, Nobuaki Makino, father of the wife of Shigeru Yoshida, once asked Yasuoka to become a tutor of Hirohito and Yasuoka was very
much embarrassed. "Refuse it flatly", a chief court lady told Yasuoka that even at that time, " nothing can be done within the court,
if one does not have a background of either the Satsuma clan or Choshu clan." It was the right answer.^[1]

Yasuoka was 16 in 1914. Why should the 16-year-old Yasuoka be embarrassed by such a request? Had he already developed his conservative philosophy? And why should the court lady give him advice that "nothing can be done"? It smells like a weak translation that does not accurately convey the sense. A citation is provided; if any editor can read Japanese and get a better sense of the claim, it would be most helpful. Richigi (talk) 00:59, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
