Date[edit]

One of the sources (#1 in article) gives the date as 1 September 1420. The Tsuji source (#3) gives 7 September. The NOAA tsunami database entry for this event gives 6 September, but mentions 7 September as well. Namegaya & Yata (2014) give 1 September. I'm not sure what to make of this discrepancy, although the 6th v. 7th is probably UTC versus local time. Mikenorton (talk) 14:47, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've realised that the 6th v. 7th discrepancy is more likely due to the 22 hour travel time for a Chilean tsunami to reach Japan. More recently published papers continue to use the two dates, so I'm no nearer solving that issue. Mikenorton (talk) 11:11, 28 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
