tenmon

tenmon (in characters: heaven+letters/learning) is the name for the period starting in 1540. historical setting: japan at war. nothing sure. tremendous domestic strife. and on top of it all, the portugese have just arrived! muscuts were introduced to japan along this time as well. in short: a time of change. hope this helps. mark msinger@msn.com
