Justin Grant Posted February 17 Report Posted February 17 I have a map of Japan and the date is listed as listed below. I read this as Tenpo 13, Year of the Water Dragon, 12th Month, Printed. Based upon this inscription, can we get a specific date other than 1842? 天保十三壬寅十二月版行 Thank you Justin Quote
SteveM Posted February 17 Report Posted February 17 Not water dragon, but "water tiger". December 1842 is as close as you'll get. No specific day is mentioned. December is a translation used for convenience. I don't know the precise start/end dates of the Twelfth Month for 1842. I would use "published" rather than "printed". I somewhat minor difference.
