The reign of the next Japanese emperor will be known as the "Reiwa" era, the Japanese government announced Monday, ahead of the coronation of Crown Prince Naruhito next month.

The era, whose name includes the character for "harmony," will formally begin once the new Emperor is crowned on May 1.

"Like the flowers of the plum tree blooming proudly in spring after the cold winter, we wish the Japanese people to bloom like individual flowers with the (promise of the) future. With such a wish for Japan, we decided upon 'Reiwa.'" said Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

For celebrating, our Executive Chef also made a fruit carving with the new name of an era, Reiwa, on it.
