The Moon of Winter:
is it Edo or Tokyo
that it oversees?
(Author's note: Prior to 1868, Tokyo (東京,"Eastern Capital") was known as Edo (江戸,"Bay Entrance") - The bay, of course, being Edo (now Tokyo) Bay. Edo had served as the seat of the Tokugawa Shoguns since 1603 while the Emperor lived in Kyoto from 794 to 1868. With the Meiji Restoration, the Imperial Capital was moved to the newly renamed Tokyo and the two previously seats of power joined into one.)
