Interesting, on good sources, no copyvio obvious. What do you think about either a hook about the clay figures with an image of them, or one about the peace tower, with an image of it. - I'd like the term "clay figures" mentioned, - instead of asking readers to click on something unknown. In the article, I confess to not have an idea where in Japan the town is. The French have the easiest way: a map. I confess further that I am no friend of images left, nor of an image coming before it (here the Peace Tower) shows in the text. Consider to drop one, make it smaller, have a gallery, - whatever, don't squeeze the text between images, please. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:10, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: I made several formatting changes per your suggestions. As I'm not really good at formatting, please review. I am very bad with the coding for maps. I'd love to add a picture of the haniwa, but all the pictures are in shade and as such wouldn't show well as thumbnails. Therefore, here's an alt for the Peace Tower, which I think displays well as a thumbnail.

ALT1 ... that Heiwadai Park's Peace Tower (pictured) was the inception point for the torch relay of the 1964 Summer Olympics?

Thanks for the review! 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 20:55, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

I like it much better, thank you. Please say which island and that in Japan in the first sentence, and give a bit more feeling pf what kind of a park in Description.

Hi, I came by to promote this, but I don't find the ALT1 hook hooky, nor does the image look good at thumbnail size. May I suggest an alt version of the original hook?
ALT2: ... that more than 400 clay figures of animals, boats, dancers, houses, and warriors line the garden paths of Heiwadai Park? Yoninah (talk) 23:07, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

@Yoninah: fine by me. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 23:26, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Thanks. Gerda could you take a look at ALT2? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 23:28, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
