born 1836 or 1837[edit]

His birth year is presently listed here as:

27 January 1837

But I noticed a problem with that:

Tessai's father died in 1843, when he was only seven

Someone born in 1837 would only be 6 years old in 1843...

To be 7 in 1843 would require being born in 1836...

To support that, I noticed in a book: https://books.google.ca/books?id=m7QwDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA219

the renowned painter Tomioka Tessai (1836–1924)

also https://books.google.ca/books?id=vku5AAAAIAAJ page 185

TESSAI (TOMIOKA) (1836-1924) Name: Tomioka Hyakuren. Childhood name: Yusuke. Go: Tessai, Tetsjujin, Tesshi, Tetsugai. Born in Kyoto on the 25th day of the 1ast month of Tempo 7 (1836). The second son of Tomioka Korenobu, a shopkeeper.

Another possibility of course might be East Asian age reckoning to explain this discrepency. Olivia comet (talk) 06:54, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
