New era name "Reiwa" announced

The new era name "Reiwa" was announced yesterday, on April 1st.

Chinese character of "Rei" made me imagine "Cabinet Order of Tax Law," 

It is strict word for me, because I am a Tax Accountant.

 

However "Wa" relieved me.
Because that Kanji means not only "peace," but also "harmony," "Japanese," "Nagomi, relaxation."


By the way, my deceased ground mother lived among Taisho, Shouwa, Heisei era.
However, I haven't expected that I will live among 3 eras of Showa, Heisei, Reiwa.

 

I hope that Reiwa era will thrive, and that we will be able to live in peace of mind.
