Time (TCG)

Time in Rokugan was measured in several ways.
== Years ==
The Isawa Calendar measured the passage of years beginning with the Fall of the Kami, an event which defined the year 1. The system was widely adopted throughout Rokugan, as it provided a more accessible context than the system of Imperial Right used in official records, which recorded events by the year of an Emperor's reign. Emerald Empire: The Essential Guide to Rokugan, p. 11
== Seasons ==
Spring was for sowing, summer was for waging war, fall was for the harvest, and winter was for politics. Winter's Embrace, p. 2 Winter was harsh in Rokugan, and battles could not be fought in the bitter cold and impassable snow. Legend of the Five Rings - Roleplaying, p. 9 The winters of Rokugan bathed its landscapes in a sea of snow, hampering agriculture, trade, and travel. While farmers and merchants took refuge from the cold in their homes, the aristocratic elite took part in the time-honored tradition of the annual Winter Court, the most important social event in Rokugan. Courts of Stone, p. 18
== Months, Days and Hours ==
=== Months ===
The Rokugani months were named after several celestial beings, such as the Kami Akodo, Court Games (The Chrysanthemum Throne fiction), by D. G. Laderoute Doji, Bayushi, Heart of the Garden, by Edward Bolme or Shiba.
