(14447) Hosakakanai
In 1910 Kanai Hosaka (1896-1937) showed his drawing of 1P/Halley to Kenji Miyazawa (1896-1933) with the words, “The comet was like a night train going along the Milky Way”. This probably inspired Kenji's best-known story “Night on the Galactic Railroad.”Discovered 2 November 1992 by Endate, K., Watanabe, K., Kitami
