Is it correct to Say that he stayed in Japan until 1939? I thought he was an enthusiastic producer of Japanese war propaganda during the war.(Buyo 07:03, 24 May 2006 (UTC)). I have changed the article following no response for a year on this discussion page. I believe the article to have been incorrect. There was a exhibition in Tokyo last year including his large scale propaganda paintings from the war.

[edit] What printmaking techniques did he actually use?

[edit] "Fujita" Romanisation preferable?

The French article has it listed as "Fujita" which seems to be the standard way of romanising the common surname "藤田" I couldn't find this article at first because of this antique, French romanisation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.37.244.104 (talk) 02:41, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

  • see Getty Union name list they actually prefer "Foujita, Léonard", saying "Note: Changed his name to Léonard in honor of Leonardo da Vinci" and also give him a French nationality. But generally the article needs improving all round. Johnbod (talk) 02:49, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
