Teruzuki was laid down on 2 June 2010 at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Nagasaki Shipyard & Machinery Works as the 5,000-ton type escort ship No. 2245 planned for FY2008 based on the medium-term defense capability development plan, launched and named on 15 September 2011. Sea trials started on 28 July 2012. Commissioned on 7 March 2013, it
82-489: A Japanese root source; prior eras' names were taken from Chinese classic literature. The Japanese imperial year ( 皇紀 , kōki , or 紀元 kigen ) is based on the date of the legendary founding of Japan by Emperor Jimmu in 660 BC. For instance, 660 BC is counted as Kōki 1. It was first used in the official calendar in 1873. Kōki 2600 (1940) was a special year. The 1940 Summer Olympics and Tokyo Expo were planned as anniversary events, but were canceled due to
123-509: A kind of "compromised" way of setting dates for festivals called Tsuki-okure ("One-Month Delay") or Chūreki ("The Eclectic Calendar"). The festival is celebrated just one solar calendar month later than the date on the Gregorian calendar. For example, the Buddhist festival of Obon was the 15th day of the 7th month. In many places the religious services are held on 15 July. However, in some areas,
164-498: A range of official and unofficial systems. At present, Japan uses the Gregorian calendar together with year designations stating the year of the reign of the current Emperor . The written form starts with the year, then the month and finally the day, coinciding with the ISO 8601 standard. For example, February 16, 2003, can be written as either 2003年2月16日 or 平成15年2月16日 (the latter following
205-404: Is a worn-down form of tsuki-tachi ( 月立ち ), literally "month start." The last day of the month was called tsugomori , which means "Moon hidden." This classical word comes from the tradition of the lunisolar calendar. The 30th was also traditionally called misoka , just as the 20th is called hatsuka . Nowadays, the terms for the numbers 28–31 plus nichi are much more common. However, misoka

The name of the new era was announced by the Japanese government on 1 April 2019, a month prior to Naruhito 's accession to the throne. The previous era, Heisei , came to an end on 30 April 2019, after Japan's former emperor, Akihito , abdicated the throne. Reiwa is the first era name whose characters come from
287-475: Is divisible by 4; but 2560 − 660 = 1900, which is evenly divisible by 100 and not by 400, so kōki 2560 (1900) was not a leap year, just as in most of the rest of the world. The Western Common Era ( Anno Domini ) ( 西暦 , seireki ) system, based on the solar Gregorian calendar , was first introduced in 1873 as part of the Japan's Meiji period modernization. Nowadays, Japanese people know it as well as
328-478: Is much used in contracts, etc., specifying that a payment should be made on or by the last day of the month, whatever the number is. New Year's Eve is known as Ōmisoka ( 大晦日 , big 30th) , and that term is still in use. As mentioned below, there is traditional belief that some days are lucky ( kichijitsu ) or unlucky. For example, there are some who will avoid beginning something on an unlucky day. The first day of April has broad significance in Japan. It marks
369-542: Is virtually ignored; celebrations of the Lunar New Year are thus limited to Chinese and other Asian immigrant communities. However, its influence can still be felt in the idea of "lucky and unlucky days" (described below), the traditional meanings behind the name of each month, and other features of modern Japanese calendars. The era name ( 元号 , gengō ) system was also introduced from China, and has been in continuous use since AD 701. The reigning Emperor chooses
410-651: The Akizuki class have been enhanced, with a new OQQ-22 integrated sonar suite sub-system (hull-sonar and OQR-3 towed array ; - a Japanese equivalent of the American AN/SQQ-89 ), and the NOLQ-3D digitalized EW suite sub-system. These sub-systems communicate across a NOYQ-1B wide area network . These systems are comparable to those of the Zumwalt -class destroyer. Japanese calendar Japanese calendar types have included
451-472: The Chinese calendar . Since 1876, January has been officially regarded as the "first month" even when setting the date of Japanese traditional folklore events (other months are the same: February as the second month, March as the third, and so on). But this system often brings a strong seasonal sense of gap since the event is 3 to 7 weeks earlier than in the traditional calendar. Modern Japanese culture has invented

The main gas turbine engines are standardized on a higher-powered version of the Rolls-Royce Spey SM1C, in contrast to the combination of Rolls-Royce SM1C and General Electric LM2500 turbines used in the Takanami class. The purpose of this class is to shield the Kongō class from air, surface and subsurface threats. Main features of the class include enhanced C4ISR and Anti-Aircraft Warfare (AAW) capability, with an OYQ-11 advanced Combat Direction Sub-system (CDS) and FCS-3A AAW weapon sub-system.

615-599: The Second Sino-Japanese War . The Japanese naval Zero Fighter was named after this year. After the Second World War , the United States occupied Japan , and stopped the use of kōki by officials. Today, kōki is rarely used, except in some judicial contexts. Usage of kōki dating can be a nationalist signal, pointing out that the history of Japan's imperial family is longer than that of Christianity ,
656-540: The gejun of this month." The magazine Kinema Junpo was originally published once every jun (i.e. three times a month). The table below shows dates written with traditional numerals, but use of Arabic numerals ( １日 , ２日 , ３日 , etc.) is extremely common in everyday communication, almost the norm. Each day of the month has a semi-systematic name. The days generally use kun (native Japanese) numeral readings up to ten, and thereafter on (Chinese-derived) readings, but there are some irregularities. Tsuitachi
697-487: The 12th is shakkō and the moon-viewing day on the 15th of the 8th is always butsumetsu . This system did not become popular in Japan until the end of the Edo period.

984-480: The basis of the Anno Domini (AD) system. The 1898 law determining the placement of leap years is officially based on the kōki years, using a formula that is effectively equivalent to that of the Gregorian calendar : if the kōki year number is evenly divisible by four, it is a leap year, unless the number minus 660 is evenly divisible by 100 and not by 400. Thus, for example, the year Kōki 2560 (AD 1900)

As mentioned above, the Japanese calendar used to be based on an adaptation of the Chinese lunar calendar, which begins 3 to 7 weeks later than the Gregorian. In other words, the Gregorian "first month" and the Chinese "first month" do not align, which is important in historical contexts. The "traditional names" for each month, shown below, are still used by some in fields such as poetry ; of

The 1st day of the 2nd month restarts the sequence at tomobiki . The 3rd month restarts at senbu , and so on for each month. The latter six months repeat the patterns of the first six, so the 1st of the 7th is senshō , the 1st of

Since the late 19th century, Sunday has been regarded as a "full-time holiday", and Saturday a half-time holiday ( 半ドン ) . These days have no religious meaning (except those who believe in Christianity or Judaism ). Many Japanese retailers do not close on Saturdays or Sundays, because many office workers and their families are expected to visit
