* A note on Japanese dates:
Japan follows the Gregorian callendar regarding days and months, years are, however, counted within the reign
of the current emperor. Domestic Japanese postmarks will thus not use Western years. International mail is mostly
postmarked with an international postmark showing a Western year and the city and country in Latin script - alone
or in addition to the domestic postmark. For catstamp collectors, the post-war reigns are of significance.
Emperor Hirohitho's reign, referred to as 'Shōwa' ("Brilliant Harmony") started in 1926 (year 1), and lasted until 7 January
1989 (year 64).
The reign of Emperor Akhito is referred to as 'Heisei' ("Achieving Peace") and started 8 January 1989 (year 1), and lasted
until 30 April 2019 (year 31).
The current reign of Emperor Naruhito is referred to as 'Reiwa' ("Beautiful Harmony") and started 1 May 2019.
2019 is thus year 31 until 30 April, and year 1 from 1 May.
