I'm confused by this: "She passed away away March 28, 1627 (1627/2/11)" - it isn't clear which is the Japanese date, (or isn't it more clear when you write it out?) However, the Sengoku Jinmei Jiten puts her date of death at 3rd month, 25th day, rather than 28th. --Kitsuno 09:08, 26 November 2006 (PST)

I checked, the Kiristutokyo Rekishi Jiten definately has March 28th (Western date). As one of its sources is a book on the Beatas-Kai, and the author probably went to Manila and saw Julia's death record with her own eyes, I think it must be closer to the primary source than the Jinmei Jiten.

I will try writing out the Japanese date (which I calculated). Maybe that will be clearer. Of course this is unusual in that the primary source is western dating.--Bethetsu 00:49, 29 November 2006 (PST)
