Remarks

The Japanese calendar, which is also known as the Wareki calendar, works exactly like the Gregorian calendar, except that the year and era are different.

The Japanese calendar recognizes one era for every emperor's reign. The current era is the Heisei era, which began in the Gregorian calendar year 1989. The era name is typically displayed before the year. For example, the Gregorian calendar year 2001 is the Japanese calendar year Heisei 13. Note that the first year of an era is called "Gannen." Therefore, the Gregorian calendar year 1989 was the Japanese calendar year Heisei Gannen.

This class assigns numbers to the eras as follows:

GetEra value

Era Name

Era Abbreviation

Gregorian Dates

平成 (Heisei)

平 (H, h)

昭和 (Showa)

昭 (S, s)

大正 (Taisho)

大 (T, t)

July 30, 1912 to December 24, 1926

1

明治 (Meiji)

明 (M, m)

January 1, 1868 to July 29, 1912

This class handles only dates from the first day of the first month in the year Meiji 1 (January 1, 1868 of the Gregorian calendar). Although the Japanese calendar was switched from a lunar calendar to a solar calendar in the year Meiji 6 (1873 of the Gregorian calendar), this implementation is based on the solar calendar only.

Leap years in the Japanese calendar correspond to the same leap years in the Gregorian calendar. A leap year in the Gregorian calendar is defined as a Gregorian year that is evenly divisible by four, except if it is divisible by 100. However, Gregorian years that are divisible by 400 are leap years. A common year has 365 days and a leap year has 366 days.

The Japanese calendar has 12 months with 28 to 31 days each:

Nigatsu, which is equivalent to the Gregorian calendar month of February, has 29 days during leap years and 28 during common years.

The date January 1, 2001 A.D. in the Gregorian calendar is equivalent to the first day of Ichigatsu in the year Heisei 13 in the Japanese calendar.

If the application is using the JapaneseCalendar class, DateTime.Parse recognizes the era abbreviations in front of the year. The abbreviation is either the single-character case-insensitive Latin alphabet abbreviation or the single-character Kanji abbreviation.

Each CultureInfo object supports a set of calendars. The CultureInfo.Calendar property returns the default calendar for the culture, and the CultureInfo.OptionalCalendars property returns an array containing all the calendars supported by the culture. To change the calendar used by a CultureInfo object, the application should set the Calendar property of CultureInfo.DateTimeFormat to a new Calendar object if the new calendar is one of the culture's optional calendars. The following example shows how to change the calendar for the ja-JP culture to the Japanese calendar.

' Change the calendar used by a Japanese CultureInfo object from Gregorian to Japanese. 
Dim japanCulture As New CultureInfo("ja-JP")
Dim originalCalendar As Calendar = japanCulture.Calendar
Dim message As String = Nothing

' Confirm that the default calendar is not the Japanese calendar.
If originalCalendar.ToString <> "System.Globalization.JapaneseCalendar" Then
   ' Check whether the culture supports the Japanese calendar.
   Dim supported As Boolean = False
   For Each supportedCal As Calendar In japanCulture.OptionalCalendars
      If supportedCal.ToString = "System.Globalization.JapaneseCalendar" Then
         supported = True            
         japanCulture.DateTimeFormat.Calendar = supportedCal
         message = String.Format("Changed the current calendar for the {0} culture from {1} to {2}.", _
                                 japanCulture.ToString(), _
                                 originalCalendar.ToString.Replace("System.Globalization.", ""), _
                                 supportedCal.ToString.Replace("System.Globalization.", ""))                                 
         Exit For
      End If
      If Not supported Then message = "The Japanese calendar is not supported."
   Next        
Else
   message = String.Format("Japanese is the default calendar for the {0} culture.", _
                           japanCulture.ToString())
End If
outputBlock.Text += message + vbCrLf
' The example displays the following output:

// Change the calendar used by a Japanese CultureInfo object from Gregorian to Japanese. 
CultureInfo japanCulture = new CultureInfo("ja-JP");
Calendar originalCalendar = japanCulture.Calendar;
string message = null;

// Confirm that the default calendar is not the Japanese calendar.
if (originalCalendar.ToString() != "System.Globalization.JapaneseCalendar")
{

   bool supported = false;
   foreach (Calendar supportedCal in japanCulture.OptionalCalendars)
