At least train tickets show dates in Japanese era years.

Like this one for instance: https://blue-works.com/jprail/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/res...

The date at the bottom left is April 26th of the year Heisei 22 (so 2010)

At least it's clear it's not 2022 in 2010 but imagine if they were close... Now we're resetting it down to 1, perhaps no big confusion but still, a pointless system.

Is history pointless?
