Showa Era ★★☆☆☆ CCW
昭 (shining / Showa era) + 和 (peace/ Japan) = 昭和 (Showa Era)

Showa Era： (In Japan, a new　時代 (era) begins every time a new Emperor is crowned, and lasts until the next one is crowned. The Japanese - like Pol Pot - start counting from Year One every time they enter a new era.

The era doesn't use the Emperor's real name, but his official nickname, which seems a bit informal, but try being logical with an emperor-lover and see where it gets you.

Anyway, the Showa era, according to wikipedia, was from 1926-1989.
