[tz] 1948-1951 Asia/Tokyo DST information

[Paul G]

I can't speak to the interpretation of the law, but in Japan it's not uncommon to see the hours of a bar or restaurant listed as 17:00-25:00 or 12:00-26:00 or something like that.

No idea if it would be used in this context or if the convention goes all the way back to the 40s, though.
