Talk:Tenbun

Arguably useful addition

The following data was posted without verifying source citations. It has been moved here pending verfication ... but the more interesting question has to do with whether this kind of additional information would be potentially helpful in all the Nengō articles? Such a project would involve a lot of work for someone -- but it's not something I'm interested in developing. Presumably, the editor who added these two sections also felt unwilling to invest the level of work needed for full metastasis?
