Japan on Monday revealed the name of the era as "Reiwa," which will define the new emperor's reign when he ascends the Chrysanthemum Throne next month following a historic abdication. It will be the first time an era's name is taken from a Japanese poetry collection instead of the usual Chinese anthologies.
