Excerpt from Japanese Chronological Tables: Showing the Date, According to the Julian or Gregorian Calendar, of the First Day of Each Japanese Month, From Tai-Kwa 1st Year to Mei-Ji 6th Year (645 A. D. To 1873 A. D.); With an Introductory Essay on Japanese Chronology and Calendars Since the remotest ages, in almost all countries, the Sun has naturally decided the length of the year, and it cannot be doubted that this was the case in J apan too, especially as the sun was the particular deity of the country. In the sun's movements four distinct periods must appear even to the most primitive of men, namely the terms, when day and night are of equal length, and those on which the day reaches its maximum and minimum length, Lo. The equinoxes and the solstices. While in most countries the period occupied by the sun in passing through all of these four divisions is called a year, it would be quite natural to count by the shorter periods that form regular portions of the whole circuit, say from Solstice to Solstice, or still better from Equinox to Equinox, owing to their similarity, thereby making two years of what we now call one.
