Jōkyō calendar

Jōkyō calendar published in 1729. Exhibit in the National Museum of Nature and Science, Tokyo, Japan.

The Jōkyō calendar (貞享暦, Jōkyō-reki) was a Japanese lunisolar calendar, in use from 1684 to 1753.[1] It was officially adopted in 1685.[2]

History

The Jōkyō-reki system was developed and explained by Shibukawa Shunkai.[3] He recognized that the length of the solar year is 365.2417 days.[1]

Shibukawa discovered errors in the traditional Chinese calendar, the Senmyō calendar, which had been in use for 800 years.[3]
