| Comments: | * Fix definition: particular dry confection, not hard candy * BTW, “rakugan” has some use in English, and there’s no other equivalent, so add that * Add literal meaning (also used) No note on the etymology – it’s disputed (saw at museum, where they gave the “early pattern was alighting geese” definition) |
