Reading the year 1828 in Japanese
Japanese sources from this period date events by era name, not by the Western calendar. 1828 corresponds to Bunsei 文政 (year 11 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 1828年 (1828ねん) in modern Japanese. Browse the full timeline to see where this year sits in the wider arc, or the 19th century for its neighbours.
