@woodsidesusan2 Of course, now it’s a Bunkazai there is little scope for debate.

@nosword @JasonPackman @japantimes For primary sources, I think something might be included in the first volume of パリ外国宣教会年次報告: Missions Etrangeres de Paris Compte Rendu (https://t.co/e1pRhZoLSG) though I can't well remember.
#Aum #Shinrikyō has also been subject to #surveillance by residents near their facilities. This sort of communal surveillance too was practiced during the Edo period against #Kirishitan and other groups at the command of the authorities. #cameraday2019

@JHMorris89 @powderbum75 In a sense the example from the 官報 is a little unfair maybe ... for the 官報 of the following day (https://t.co/V288aShlvi) actually corrected 井 into ヰ. ^^ In any case, the important thing here is that 井 continued to be used as a katakana well into the 20th century. 4/ https://t.co/TptpSN6dLE
@JHMorris89 @powderbum75 It is, but at the same time the most common katakana for "(w)i" throughout the centuries actually looked the same as 井. Here's e.g. the portion from the 官報 in 1900, when the standard set of hiragana and katakana was decided on: "wV" = ワ井ウヱヲ (https://t.co/LzXmUaVs0r). 1/ https://t.co/rncR5sm1qR
