+# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1995-03-06):
+# Today's _Asahi Evening News_ (page 4) reports that Japan had
+# daylight saving between 1948 and 1951, but ``the system was discontinued
+# because the public believed it would lead to longer working hours.''
+# Shanks writes that daylight saving in Japan during those years was as follows:
+# Rule	NAME	FROM	TO	TYPE	IN	ON	AT	SAVE	LETTER/S
+#Rule	Japan	1948	only	-	May	Sun>=1	2:00	1:00	D

+#Rule	Japan	1950	1951	-	May	Sun>=1	2:00	1:00	D
+# but the only locations using it were US military bases.
+# We go with Shanks and omit daylight saving in those years for Asia/Tokyo.
+#
+# The same news article also reports that Japan is likely to go on DST in 1996
+# as follows, where I've guessed the AT and LETTER/S columns:
+# Rule	NAME	FROM	TO	TYPE	IN	ON	AT	SAVE	LETTER/S
