Last Day of Heisei

Last Day of Heisei

Today is the last day of 'Heisei' (平成).

Do you know about the Japanese 'gengo' (元号)?

'Gengo' is a kind of ways of counting years (regnal era name) that is used in eastern Asia, and in modern Japan, it changes in association with the enthronement of the new Emperor.

It is 'Heisei' (平成) now, but it will become 'Reiwa' (令和) from tomorrow (after about one hour).

Incidentally, the period of 'Heisei' is about 30 years, and it was 'Shōwa' (昭和) before 'heisei'.

Sadly, people who were born in 'Shōwa' are sometimes treated as old men/women.
平成最後の日

今日は平成最後の日です。

日本の元号のことをご存知でしょうか。

元号はアジア東部における紀年法の一種で、近代の日本では天皇の即位に伴って元号も変わります。

今は「平成」ですが、明日（約1時間後）からは「令和」になります。

ちなみに平成は約30年で、平成の前は「昭和」です。

悲しいことに、「昭和生まれ」は年配扱いされることもあります。

    　I know it doesn’t match the Japanese translation exactly, but I think it sounds better this way. It would probably sound better to say “East Asia” as well.
    あなたの日本語版にぴったり合わないと知っているけど、この方の響きはいいと思います。なお、「東アジア」の方の響きもいいかも知れません。
