Explanation and Etymology - (西暦) seireki

Seireki is a Japanese word that refers to the Gregorian calendar, used in most Western countries. The word is composed of the characters 西 (nishi), which means "west", and 暦 (reki), which means "calendar". The origin of the term seireki dates back to the 6th century, when the Christian monk Dionysius the Small proposed a new system of counting years based on the birth of Jesus Christ. This system was adopted by the Catholic Church and later by the Western world as a whole. In Japan, the Gregorian calendar was officially adopted in 1873, during the Meiji Era, replacing the old lunar calendar. Since then, seireki has been widely used in the country for administrative, commercial, and personal purposes.
