Reading the year 1613 in Japanese

Japanese sources from this period date events by era name, not by the Western calendar. 1613 corresponds to Keichō 慶長 (year 18 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 1613年 (1613ねん) in modern Japanese. Browse the full timeline to see where this year sits in the wider arc, or the 17th century for its neighbours.
