Kansei calendar

Kansei calendar (寛政暦, Kansei-reki) was a Japanese lunisolar calendar (genka reki).[1] It was published in 1797.[2]

History

The Kansei-reki system was the work of Takahashi Yoshitoki[3] and Hazama Shigetomi.[4]

Takahashi and Hazama used Western astronomy studies to modify the traditional calendar.[4]

gollark: TRAITOR!
gollark: Hmm, that gives me an idea...
gollark: Also, all the configuration made it annoying to (dis)assemble.
gollark: It works, but I want something which scales better while I install random junk in my new base.
gollark: Me too, but that's uncool and slow.
