While the Gregorian calendar is commonly used in Japan today, a parallel numbering system for years according to the reigns of current emperors is also frequently used (see year comparison above).
The year 2008, for example, which happens to be the 20th year of reign of the current emperor whose posthumous name is Heisei, is called "Heisei 20".
