	JAPANESE SHOWA ERA SWORDS
		The terms gunto, gendaito and showato are commonly used in reference to Japanese swords of the WW II era; but they used in different ways to convey concepts which are not strictly contained in their definitions.
		Showato - "Showa era sword" (this term refers to any sword made during the Showa era, 1926 to 1989, not to whether it is handmade or not.)
		Swords made of forge folded commercial mill steel look the same as those made of tamehagane after they are polished although some collectors feel that swords made of tamehagane are more likely to have active hamon and more prominent hada than those made of folded mill steel.

	Supported Calendars
		An imperial era starts from an emperor's ascension and its year number is reset to 1 with a new era name.
		The first year of an imperial era is not in sync with the Gregorian year boundaries, and any day could be the first day of an imperial era.
		For example, looking at the transition between the Showa and Heisei eras, the last day of the Showa era (Showa 64.01.07, gregorian value 1989-01-07) is 7 and the next day, which is the first day of the Heisei era (Heisei 1.01.08), is 1.

	SHOWA
		In the immediate aftermath of the war, many believed that the Showa Emperor was an evil mastermind behind the war while others claimed that he was simply a powerless figurehead.
		The health of the new emperor was weak, which prompted the shift in political power from the old oligarchic clique of "elder statesmen" (genro) to the parliament and the democratic parties.
		Thus, the era is considered the time of the liberal movement known as the "Taisho democracy" in Japan; it is usually distinguished from the preceding chaotic Meiji Era and the following militarism-driven Showa Era.

	Midwest Pond and Koi Society - Showa, the Embodiment of Power
		Formally known as the showa sanshoku, this fl, red and white koi serves as the representative for the Showa Era of Japanese history which spanned the years 1927 to 1989.
		The first showa was created in 1927 by when a breeder named Hoshino crossed a ki utsuri, which is a yellow fish with fl bandings, and a kohaku.
		The inazuma showa represented a huge improvement in body conformation and overall color quality, and it was used as a brood fish until it died a few years ago.

	Print news - IPS Inter Press Service
		Showa marked the reign of Emperor Hirohito who led Japan during its harsh colonisation of much of Asia in the 1930s, entry into World War II and defeat in 1945, and later the post-war years when the nation rose again to become the second largest economy in the world.
		Analysts point out the current Showa renaissance is remembered most for the best times of this period -- Japan's envied advance into high-technology manufacturing and, especially for the older generation like Yokokawa, the nationalistic appeal of the powerful Showa Emperor's army that swept into the Korean peninsula, China, and most of South-east Asia.
		For example, the Showa Lifestyle Museum, which opened here in 1999 and is a converted stately home, has a wide collection of posters, magazines and other paraphernalia that carry photographs of Japanese film stars, pop singers and records of old western jazz artists and famous musical productions.

	Asahi Orikomi - Useful Information > History of Advertising Inserts
		In the Meiji Era, "Hikifuda" came to be understood in the broad sense of "advertisements." In 1872, two years after the first newspaper was published in Japan, "Hikifuda" were distributed as "supplements to newspapers" in the Tokyo Nichinichi Shimbun.
		As time progresses from the Taisho Era to the Showa Era, the current form of advertising inserts of newspaper was established.
		The example from the Showa Era is an advertisement for "Entaku," or a taxi charging a flat fare of one yen, which clearly describes the situation in those days.

	The Unimonster's Crypt
		The term “Showa” has its origins in the traditional Japanese method of date-keeping--a new era begins with the death of the current emperor and the ascension of his successor.
		Thus, the Taishō era ended in 1926 with the death of the Taishō Emperor Yoshihito, and the Showa era began as his son, Crown Prince Hirohito, succeeded him.
		This was the seminal film of the Showa period, transforming the three main kaijû, especially Godzilla, into the anointed protectors of Japan.

	Column6 An Account about Naming the New Imperial Era - Could "Showa" Have Been "Kobun" Instead? \| ...
		The first of the various "riddles" and "shadowy narratives" to grace the Showa era is the account that "Kobun" rather than Showa was to have been the next imperial era name after "Taisho".
		ISHIWATARI Takayuki writes in his book, "Showa in the Public Record" (Kitanomaru 7), based on the "Showa Tairei Kiroku", "Kobun" was included in the list of five names proposed by the Cabinet for the next imperial era name.
		Since the "Showa Tairei Kiroku" was compiled after the fact, and was not an original historical document, one could conceivably make the obstinate argument that it merely contains a "reconstructed" scenario that positions "Showa" as the new imperial name from the very beginning.

		The extension constructed during the Showa Era is based on the same construction method as the one common today, using a frame of steel beams and pillars of reinforced concrete.
		The methods for roof framing were also different in the Meiji Era and the Showa Era.

	Tokyo Hat Club - Tokyo Hat Association
		During the beginning of the Showa era, the Meiji era was probably looked upon by most people as distance and remote.
		Now as we live through the Heisei era (1989-present), the Showa era (1926-88), like the Meiji (1868-1911), Taisho (1911-1925), seems to be sharing the same fate.
		The Meiji, Taisho, and Showa era's 120 years of struggles, adventures, discoveries, challenges, triumphs and defeats marks a long and important milestone in Japan's history.

		The declining of the left-wingers are accelerated by collapse of Soviet and the abduction issue by North Korea.
		The reason why some people aruge that "the emperor himself was a war criminal because he was the person in supreme power in prewar era" is that they are mistaking authority for political power.
		Given that the memo is the record of the Tokugawa's words, it is very likely that his opinion is similar to the emperor's, or he might be even a proxy of the Emperor who couldn't express opinion by himself.

		During that era, particularly in the 1930s, Japanese people were full of pride in their country: The vast majority gloried in the "spiritual health" and growing power of the nation.
		Any view whatsoever that differed from the reigning Showa nationalism, as it was known, was quashed, along with its adherents.
		This misused label is now being bandied about as it was in the era of Showa nationalism, implying that Japanese people who disagree with the government are traitors.

		Thus, during the long and eventful reign of the Showa Emperor, Japan emerged from a period of military expansion, culminating in national tragedy, and entered a new period of international cooperation during which it became one of the world's three greatest economic powers.

		This is because the economic policy adopted during that period...is reckoned to be similar to the one being pursued by the administration of Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, which is attempting to take further deflationary steps in the current deflation-led recession.
		The depression in the early part of the Showa era is being cited as a historic lesson these days as a sense of crisis is spreading over the possibility the Japanese economy may sink into a depression if current problems are left unchecked.
		The catchphrase of the administration of Prime Minister Osachi Hamaguchi, which ushered in the Showa Depression, was the ''readjustment of fiscal affairs.'' This is a policy line similar to the fiscal reconstruction and 30 trillion yen cap on the issuance of new government bonds advocated by Koizumi.
