Blair, if you would be so kind. Practicing my Japanese postmark date conversion. If Manchukuo employs Japanese date styles, Treacans stamp is 5/1/17 I have one in my collection 6/8/5 Does this translate as 17/1/1916 and 5/8/1917 respectively ? Thanks "bc92" wrote in message ...

The dates should be 17 January 1930 and 5 August 1931 if they are using the Japanese reign period dates. The Showa era began in 1926 and ran to 1989, but as the Japanese count inclusively, the simple solution is to reckon the year from 1925. Tony Mac Gillycuddy |

Japanese Era From ancient times in Asia, it was the practice to count years according to the reign of an emperor. This custom of reckoning years by eras was adopted in Japan in seventh century. From that time until the nineteenth century, the reigning emperor decided when one era ended and another began. Under the current system, adopted following the ascension of Emperor Meiji in 1868,the era begins on the day an emperor ascends the throne and continues until his death. Thus Meiji era began in 1868 and lasted until 1912. Showa began in 1926 when Emperor Hirohito ascended and lasted until 1989. At present, the era is Heisei. Meiji : 1868/ 9/ 8 - 1912/ 7/30 Taisho : 1912/ 7/30 - 1926/12/25 Showa : 1926/12/25 - 1989/ 1/ 7 Heisei : 1989/ 1/ 7 - Actually, any date of the year during which era has changed, could be referred in either era. For example, 1989/1/5 could be referred as Heisei 1st 1/5 as well. Era changes at 12:00 noon so eras do not overlap in terms of hours although it does in terms of day. http://www.009.com/japanera/english.shtml Blair |

However, in order to make the answer complete (here the date stamp shows 5.1.17), we have to determine whether the year is 5 or 17. Since the stamp was issued in 1937, the japanese year should be 17, the 17th year of the Showa era. 1926 is the 1st year of the Showa era. 1942 is the 17th year. Correct ? -- Best regards, Bruno |

Treacan Indeed, boy, that was a gaffe and a half, of course 1930's if Manchkuo stamps appeared in 1932. So we can conclude that they cannot be Japanese reign period dates. We cannot have 1931 cancel on a 1937 stamp Thanks very much Tony and Blair. |

So counting inclusively, the dates on the cancels would be 17 January 1936 and 5 August 1937. Tony Mac Gillycuddy |
