Reading the year 1925 in Japanese

Japanese sources from this period date events by era name, not by the Western calendar. 1925 corresponds to Taishō era 大正 (year 14 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 1925年 (1925ねん) in modern Japanese. Browse the full timeline to see where this year sits in the wider arc, or the 20th century for its neighbours.
