Businesses await Japan's new era name as emperor's abdication looms

A page of a diary produced by Japanese textbook and calendar maker Takahashi Shoten Co. shows "H," which indicates Heisei, the current era name under Emperor Akihito, printed next to the years 2025 and 2026 in this photo taken Jan. 30, 2017. Companies that produce calendars and diaries are keeping close tabs on government debate about the likely upcoming change in Japanese era name, which is linked to the reigning emperor, as they prepare to put to market new era-correct products.
