"Until 1873, Japan used a lunar calendar, either the Chinese calendar or a close relative. The dates in this calendar are about three to seven weeks after the corresponding Western (Gregorian) date, depending on the year. Almost all source material uses this calendar for events in Japan before 1873, as do Japanese historians. Therefore all dates, unless otherwise noted, are the Japanese equivalent (the lunar calendar)."--[[User:Shikisoku|Shikisoku]] 05:33, 17 June 2007 (PDT)

::Sweet. Thank you. Now we just have to hope that our sources are using the Japanese dates. Do you know where one can find a good converter? [[User:LordAmeth|LordAmeth]] 08:48, 17 June 2007 (PDT)
