| | Japanese era name - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Upon his death, an emperor is thereafter referred to with the name of the era marked by their reign. |
 | | Historically, prior to the Meiji Restoration, era names were changed on many different occasions including celebrations, major political incidents, and natural disasters, but emperors never posthumously took the name of an era. |
 | | Incidentally, on modern official papers, those born prior to the Meiji period wrote not the era name in which they were born, but Edo period (No one born in that time period, over 130 years ago, is alive now). |
