Reading the year 1675 in Japanese

Japanese sources from this period date events by era name, not by the Western calendar. 1675 corresponds to Enpō 延宝 (year 3 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 1675年 (1675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.
