History

The Hōryaku Kōjutsu Genreki system was the work of Abe Yasukuni,[3] Shibukawa Kōkyō,[4] and Nishiyama Seikyū.[5] Errors in the calendar were corrected in 1798[6] and in 1844.[7] In 1872, the Western calendar was adopted.[3]

gollark: I think it's more likely to end up remaining very niche.
gollark: I don't need anything else out of a phone, and am tired of the inability to even change DNS servers on Android, so it seems pretty cool.
gollark: It's a shame it doesn't have a physical keyboard, but for "relatively open thing which can browse the interweb and send SMS/make calls" it does seem pretty good.
