Reiwa (Japanese: 令和, pronounced [ɾeːwa] ⓘ or [ɾeꜜːwa][1][2]) is the current and 232nd era of the official calendar of Japan. It began on 1 May 2019, the day on which Emperor Akihito's eldest son, Naruhito, ascended the throne as the 126th Emperor of Japan. The day before, Emperor Akihito abdicated the Chrysanthemum Throne, marking the end of the Heisei era. The year 2019 corresponds with Heisei 31 from 1 January to 30 April, and with Reiwa 1 (令和元年, Reiwa gannen, 'the base year of Reiwa') from 1 May.[3] The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan explained the meaning of Reiwa to be "beautiful harmony".[4]
