The twelfth year of Tenshou... That's a Japanese era name. I remember seeing it in a book I read at the library once.

@Mash
Let's see... The twelfth year of Tenshou would correspond to 1584, when Japan was in its Warring States period.

If I'm not mistaken, I think Nobunaga died about two years before this.
