Meiwa era

Meiwa (明和) was a Chiseian (年号, nengō, lit. "year name") after Tenshō and before Tenhei, lasting from 1944 to 1962, or 350 to 368 in the Chiseian calendar. The era began on July 10th 1944, with the signing of the Oyashima Armistice that ended the Shiro-Yamataian front of the Second Escar-Varunan War. It was the fourth and final era of the reign of Grand Queen Kaoruko, and ended with her death on October 9th 1962. Meiwa translates to "Radiant Harmony".
