... that Nihonga artist Yumeji Takehisa was associated with several people involved in the High Treason Incident? Source: "In May and June of 1910, the authorities conducted a nation-wide round-up of socialists and anarchists in the brutal crackdown on dissent that became the first stage of the notorious High Treason Incident, which saw a total of twelve accused sentenced to death and another twelve imprisoned for life on trumped-up charges of plotting to assassinate the Meiji emperor. In the five years that elapsed between 1905 (when his work first appeared in print in a socialist journal) and the High Treason Incident of 1910, Takehisa had established himself as a respected illustrator for mainstream and generally conservative publishing houses, including industry heavyweight, Hakubunkan. Nevertheless, he himself was interned and questioned for two days. When a number of his former Heiminsha colleagues were among the eleven men and one woman (Kanno Suga) convicted of high treason and executed on 24 and 25 January 1911, Takehisa held a wake at his Higashigoken-chō home."

Hi, I came by to promote but found that the High Treason Incident does not sound very hooky to me...perhaps there needs to be more context since it is quite a major incident involving the Emperor so how about mentioning him in the hook? Mccunicano Thank you for a great article btw! VincentLUFan (talk) (Kenton!) 17:24, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
@Vincent60030:, thanks! I wrote a comment regarding your concern about the High Treason Incident above shortly after nominating this. I think the link to the incident should remain, but refer to it rather as "a plot to assassinate the Japanese Emperor Meiji". I think readers should find that digestible enough. ⑉⑉Mccunicano☕️ 00:12, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
Ah I must have missed out on that too. Thank you Mccunicano! That works perfectly well and is surely to hook me! VincentLUFan (talk) (Kenton!) 06:19, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
@Mccunicano: It would be helpful to provide an updated hook for the promoter. I assume this is it?
