•  Japanese era name

  The Japanese era calendar scheme is a common calendar scheme used in Japan, which identifies a year by the combination of the Japanese era name and the year number within the era. For example, the year 2010 is Heisei 22. As elsewhere in East Asia, the use of nengō, also known as "gengō", was originally derived from Chinese Imperial practice, although the Japanese system is independent of the Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese era-naming systems.
