The Japanese year is written with the name of the reigning Emperor followed by the year of his reign and the kanji character for "year" (nen).

The first year of an Emperor era is called gannen instead of ichi nen. The characters for gannen are 元年. So Heisei 1 is 平成元年
-
Japanese dates are written in the order of year month day.
