Explanation and Etymology - (元年) gannen
元年 It is a Japanese word meaning "first year" or "inaugural year". It is composed of the characters 元 (Gen) which means "origin" or "beginning" and 年 (nen) which means "year". The etymology of the word goes back to the Nara period (710-794), when the years counting system was introduced in Japan. Before that, the years were counted according to the reign of the emperor, but with the introduction of the new system, the first year of each new emperor was called 元年. Currently, it is used in many situations to refer to the first year of something, such as the first year of a new government, the first year of a new era or the first year of a project.How to Write in Japanese - (元年) gannen
