Tagaini Jisho was removed because upstream took a long time to release an official version supporting Qt5, and Debian proceeded with dropping Qt4. The removal bug[1] says the package had been orphaned since 2016 but could be reintroduced, and the original maintainer (Thibaut Varene) seems to longer be with Debian. There were a couple of minor bugs open when the package was removed, and I plan to see if they are still relevant (#672728, #673118). The licensing uncertainty around inclusion of SKIP codes has been resolved and they are again included[3][4], under CC-BY-SA-4.0 (I need to update d/copyright still and switch to DEP-5).
