Japan traditionally used an "era" system since 645. In modern days
|
|
(since the Meiji era) eras can only be renewed when a new emperor
|
|
succeeds his predecessor. Until then new eras were proclaimed for
|
|
various reasons, including the succession of the shogunate during the
|
|
Tokugawa shogunate.
