I asked a professor at a local university who teaches both Japanese as
a second language, and Japanese literature, whether there were better
words to use in English for either the eras, or the calendar itself.
He said there were not, "era" is the usual term in English and the
calendar doesn't have a more formal name than "the traditional
Japanese calendar"/

Based on that, I think this patch is now good to go in.
