In 645 -- in the 4rd year of Kōgyoku-tennō's reign ((皇極天皇4年), on the 14th day of the 6th month, the empress announced her intention to abdicate in favor of her younger brother, Karu-shinnō; but he adamently refused to accept the succession (‘‘senso’’).<.ref>Aston, William.

[A distinct act of senso is unrecognized prior to Emperor Tenji; and all sovereigns except Jitō, Yōzei, Go-Toba, and Fushimi have senso and sokui in the same year until the reign of Go-Murakami.]<./ref> Karu-shinnō persisted in arguing that the throne should go to Prince Prince Naka no Ōe; and then, surprisingly, Naka-no Ōe resolved the impasse by declaring his intention to renounce any claim to the throne by becoming a Buddhist monk. That same day, Naka-no Ōe shaved off his hair at Hōkō-ji in the open air between the Hall of Buddha and the pagoda.<.ref>Aston, William. (2005). Nihongi, p. 195-196.<./ref>

Third opinion I agree with Ooperhoofd in that the story belongs here. Simply saying that this is where someone shaved his head is not enough - you need to say why it was done and, since the reasons were directly related to the inheritance of the imperial throne, the event is worth mentioning in detail. The text needs a little rewording to improve flow and to help make its signifigance clear to the reader. I can help out with that if you like. - 52 Pickup ^(deal) 07:33, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Wrongful deletion" ??

1) The events in question took place at 法興寺, NOT 蜂岡寺. Both archaic temple names with the same reading ("Hōkō-ji"). Both completely different temples. The former is Asuka-dera. The latter is Kōryū-ji. Spending just three seconds reading the Japanese Wikipedia article[1] about the incident, or doing a Google search[2] could have confirmed this.
2) It's not really hard to get your head around the fact that information about *the incident* belongs in the article about *the incident*. Duplicating it all leads to redundancy and inconsistency. Bueller 007 (talk) 12:52, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
