Japan adopted the practice of using year names of "Nengoh" during
645 A D (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. During the
reign of some of the emperors, as many as six new titles have been
adopted. Ambiguities have often occurred in computation of time,
due to frequent changes of year titles. Changes may take place at
any time of the year, and from the time of the change on till the
end of that year, no matter how short, it is called the first year
under the new title. Thus that same calendar year has two different
titles. This volume provides a comparison of historical dates of
two Oriental nations but is also of use to specialists in Oriental
arts and scholars of ancient documents, scripts, pictures and
prints.
