Overall: Quality article based on solid sources. Earwig detects no problems. A couple small issues. The article ought to be renamed "Utoro, Kyoto" as is the case with other Japanese city sub-districts, such as Kanda, Tokyo. ALT0 is also just a bit of a mouthful and its syntax could use a little reshuffling. It would suffice to write and wikilink Kyoto rather than "Kyoto, Japan". Also, it be more helpful to give exact years for when the Korean forced laborers arrived and when they/their families were finally able to purchase their land. Again, minor quibbles. Really good work overall! — CurryTime7-24 ( talk) 19:56, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

By 1986, agitation for a better water supply was growing intense. Nissan proposed a plan to settle both the land ownership and the water issue. The land would be sold to a company which Hirayama would set up to resell land to the residents in individual lots. Water and road construction costs would be apportioned according to the area of each lot. With Hirayama’s agreement to this scheme, Nissan advised Uji City in 1987 that they consented to the water supply, which went ahead, much to the delight of the residents who remained ignorant of the real reason for it.
owners of the land and the various governments, this refers to Nissan and Western Japan Development, as the statement about illiteracy causing difficulties applies over the course of decades. For
The new owners of Western Japan Development, this is because the owner went from one person (I think; Hirayama?) to multiple (I think?). From the Hicks ref:
At the end of the year, however, they received unconditional eviction notices by post from the new board of Western Japan Development.It says board; not sure what % of the shares the board owned. I guess they were all technically owners of the company as shareholders are?
Great work improving the article! All my comments noted within the original review have been struck through since the issues raised therein have been remedied. Just some spot checks are needed now. May I please have the quoted source texts for the following (present non-English texts in the original instead of in translation)?
A couple of unrelated remarks: you should archive all the web links because they will become broken eventually. Also, the first paragraph in "Anti-Korean sentiment" appears to cut-off in mid-sentence. — CurryTime7-24 ( talk) 23:04, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
경상도 출신을 중심으로, 원래는 농민 (소작농 다수)이었다.->
Mainly from Gyeongsang Province and originally farmers (majority tenant farmers).
우토로에서는 계약서이나 등기부등본과 같은 부동산 거래의 일반적인 원칙보다 서로에 대한 믿음을 우선시해 판잣집이나 새로 지은 주택을 구두 약정으로 사고파는 일도 흔했다고 한다. 우토로 조선인이 제대로 학교를 다니기 어려웠고 글을 모르는 이들도 있었던 것도 한 원인으로 보인다.->
It's said that in Utoro, it was common to trade property using verbal agreements based on trust, instead of contracts or formal documents. One reason for this was because it was difficult for Utoro's Koreans to attend school, which led to illiteracy.
“The residents demanded that, since Nissan had intended to sell them the land, the company should buy it back and deal directly with them. A larger demonstration was later held at the Nissan Corporation’s head office in Tokyo. The corporation maintained, however, that it had no further responsibility for the land.
"It’s shameful that the only way to get Japan to correct a wrong is to bring it to the outside world,” said the Rev. Kana Shimasaki, associate pastor at a Japanese church in Honolulu, who is active in the petition campaign. “As a Japanese citizen I am embarrassed."
Last month, we organized "Citizens For Utoro Historical Center," with the aim of establishing a space to remember their painful history.", article is from 2018.
I can't access the Hicks title given as the reference for the "hollow" meaning. Presumably this would be a shift from "standard" Japanese term wikt:うつろ#Japanese (utsuro). Does Hicks mention utsuro at all?
There are dialectal variations in other places that show a similar shift, such as utsurogi becoming utorogi and shifting even further to utōgi. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 21:48, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
CurryTime7-24 ( talk) 06:53, 5 October 2023 (UTC)It is called Utoro, a name so unusual that it is sometimes assumed to be Korean, especially as, uniquely among [Japanese] place names, [ sic] no Chinese characters are used for it, but it is apparently local dialect meaning 'a hollow'.
