Everything Japanese Encyclopedia::Japanese History

After 1662 entries, the Everything Japanese Encyclopedia became too big to fit in a single volume. After much deliberation, it was decided that the EJE would be broken up into separate tomes; this is one of those.

This portion of the EJE is devoted to the history of Japan. Here you will find events, eras in Japanese history, and those people who left their mark on the Land of the Rising Sun. If, during your wanderings through the nodegel, you spot a node that has been overlooked by the watchful eyes of the Encyclopedists, drop me a /msg.

Thanks!
