Aztec Calendar - Asu Te Kare Ki

Japanese: アステカ暦 - あすてかれき
Aztec Calendar - Asu Te Kare Ki

...A system for counting long periods of time in years, months, and days, with one day as the unit. It can also refer to the calendar system that constitutes this system, or the calendar table or calendar book that records it. As Li Bai's poem states, "Time is a passing traveler of a hundred generations," time flows continuously from the infinite past to the infinite future. This infinite flow of time is given punctuation marks based on natural cycles, and a time standard is created for convenience in daily life. This is why we need a calendar, and as social life becomes more advanced, a convenient calendar that can be used in common will be required.

*Some of the terminology that refers to the "Aztec calendar" is listed below.
