Tokyo (CNN) - The reign of the next Japanese emperor will be known as the "Reiwa" era, the Japanese government announced Monday, ahead of the coronation of Crown Prince Naruhito next month.

The era, whose name includes the character for "harmony," will formally begin once the new Emperor is crowned on May 1.
Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said he hoped the new name, which was adapted from an 8th century anthology of classic poetry, "will be widely accepted by the people and deeply rooted in life in Japan."
Reporters noted that it is the first time that the name of an era has been taken from classical Japanese literature, rather than Chinese.
