1912 - 1926The Era Name System
Japan follows the imperial era name system, or **Nengō**. Each era corresponds to the reign of an Emperor. The current era, **Reiwa**, began on May 1, 2019.
In official contexts, Japanese documents often use years in their imperial format rather than Gregorian (e.g., Reiwa 6 instead of 2024). This tool uses the international standard for era extraction.
