XINHUA PHOTOS OF THE DAY

Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga holds aloft a framed picture of "Reiwa", the name of Japan's new era, during a press conference in Tokyo, Japan, April 1, 2019. The Japanese government announced Monday that "Reiwa" will be the name of Japan's new era to start on May 1, when Crown Prince Naruhito ascends the Chrysanthemum throne succeeding his father Emperor Akihito. The new era name, comprised of two Chinese characters, which roughly translate to "orderly" or "auspicious" and "peace" or "harmony," is derived from Man'yoshu, the oldest anthology of Japanese poetry dating back to the eighth century.
