Reading the year 1836 in Japanese
Japanese sources from this period date events by era name, not by the Western calendar. 1836 corresponds to Tenpō 天保 (year 6 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 1836年 (1836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.
