2. My host dad in Japan was a HUGE pre-Heian buff. He toured me around all the kofun, etc..will tons of great history I'd never heard before. He made me a list of all the reignal periods, all the year names, both Chinese and Japanese, including all the kanji. I can work on getting some of that up, soon.

My way of thinking was that "muromachi" and "rest of muromachi" should end up on the same row in the list at the top, which is why I had it like this

Muromachi Period

XYZ

ABC

Rest of Muromachi Period

Not sure what looks better.

There was a discussion about periods on the S-A forum [1]

Maybe someone could fill in the article with information for pre-Nara periods.--Bethetsu 20:53, 20 June 2007 (PDT)

Sengoku?

Why is Sengoku described as not included? I understand that much of it overlaps with the Muromachi period, but as far as I am aware it is on equal footing with the Azuchi-Momoyama Period in terms of being an "official" period; as far as I am concerned, Azuchi-Momoyama is even less official, being merely a part of Sengoku.

I have also seen chronologies that list 1467 as the end of the Muromachi period (though not, of course, of the Ashikaga shogunate) in order to allow for Sengoku to be a full period extending from 1467- 1600/1603/1615.

What do you all think? I really don't see why Sengoku should be singled out like this as not quite official enough or whatever, particularly when Azuchi-Momoyama is included. LordAmeth 01:48, 21 June 2007 (PDT)
