Year Names of China and Japan
Routledge Library Editions: Japan
Opis
Japan adopted the practice of using year names of 'Nengoh' during 645 AD (the first year of Taikwa). Since then the accession of a new emperor, with the exception of a few, has been marked with a new year title, exactly as has been the custom in China. This title provides a comparison of historical dates of two Oriental nations.
