Reading the year 1548 in Japanese
Japanese sources from this period date events by era name, not by the Western calendar. 1548 corresponds to Tenbun 天文 (year 17 of the era). Years are written with 年 (ねん, nen) — so 1600 appears as 慶長5年, "the fifth year of Keichō".
The year itself is read 1548年 (1548ねん) in modern Japanese. Browse the full timeline to see where this year sits in the wider arc, or the 16th century for its neighbours.
