+% The era names are laid out in groups of 2 to account for the desire
+% to avoid using '1' for the first era year. Instead of '1' we use
+% <U5143> or <GAN> as the first era year.
+%
+% The following dates and their names are recorded below in descending
+% date order (note that <U5E74> or <NEN> follows each date).
+% <HEISEI> -> <SHOWA> -> <TAISHO> -> <MEIJI> -> <AD> -> <BC>
+%
+% Each string is an era description segment with the format:
+% "direction:offset:start_date:end_date:era_name:era_format"
+%
+% Note:
+% - The '+*' entry in end_date means "forever going forward"
+% - The '-*' entry in end_date means "forever going backwards" counting up.
+% - Negative year number in start_date is prior to AD 1 (BC) counting up.
+% - The last entry <U7D00><U5143><U524D> in era_name means BC.
+% - The second-to-last entry <U897F><U66A6> in era_name means AD.
