When Showa 52 year meets the new year in Japan
In Showa 52 the year 1977 is shown in parentheses on Japan’s morning papers though most use imperial reign years for dating. Abe voters and government offices cling to imperial era dates while only a minority favor switching to AD. Public support favors continuing Showa though debate grows.
