User:Tenmei/Reizei
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tenmei (天明?) was a Japanese era name (年号, nengō, lit. year name) after An'ei and before Kansei. This period spanned the years from 1781 through 1789. The new era name of Tenmei (meaning "dawn") was created to mark the enthronement of Emperor Kōkaku-tennō (光格天皇?). The previous era ended and the new one commenced in An'ei 11, on the 2nd day of the 4th month.[1]
[edit] How best to make good use of this venue?
I've been reading an unlikely 17th-century Internet book:
- Titsingh, Isaac, ed. (1834). [Siyun-sai Rin-siyo/Hayashi Gahō, 1652]. Nipon o daï itsi ran; ou, Annales des empereurs du Japon, tr. par M. Isaac Titsingh avec l'aide de plusieurs interprètes attachés au comptoir hollandais de Nangasaki; ouvrage re., complété et cor. sur l'original japonais-chinois, accompagné de notes et précédé d'un Aperçu d'histoire mythologique du Japon, par M. J. Klaproth. Paris: Oriental Translation Fund of Great Britain and Ireland.--Two digitized examples of this rare book have now been made available online: (1) from the library of the University of Michigan, digitized January 30, 2007; and (2) from the library of Stanford University, digitized June 23, 2006. Click here to read the original text in French.
My current plan is to continue posting some of what I learn from the Annales des empereurs du Japon -- primarily in nengō-related and in tennō-related Wiki-stubs in English and French, but sometimes in other areas as well. I anticipate that the initial phase of this project is likely to continue through mid-2008.
