		Showa is the longest era as of 2003.

	Taisho period - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thus, the era is considered the time of the liberal movement known as the "Taishō; democracy" in Japan; it is usually distinguished from the preceding chaotic Meiji Era and the following militarism-driven Shōwa Era.

	Chinese era name
		An era name (traditional Chinese: 年號, simplified Chinese: 年号, pinyin nían hào) is the era name, or regnal title, used when numbering years in an emperor's reign traditionally and naming certain Chinese rulers (see the conventions).
		In addition, using a particular era name was a political act implying recognition of a sovereign's right to rule, and one issue that traditional Chinese historians faced was which set of era names to use when dating a historical event.
		Era names were also employed (under different naming conventions) in other East Asian countries such as Korea, Japan and Vietnam, mostly because of China's cultural influence.
