The Japanese 'N' can be used interchangeably with 'm' wherever such a substitution is logical: Tenmon / Temmon, etc. Apostrophes after the Japanese 'N' are acceptable but not necessary: Bun'ryaku / Bunryaku, etc. Era names with more than one word must be seperated by a hyphen: Tempyou-Shouhou, etc.
