Japanese year / Japanese era year

Explanation:
The term "japanischen Jahreszahlenrechnung" is confusing and the addition "(60)" seems incomplete to me, because it should be proceeded by the letter "Shōwa" - the posthumous name of the previous emperor - or simply by "S".

The number 60, or the designation "Showa 60" does - IMO - not refer to the "Japanese calendar" because the Japanese use the Gregorian calendar.

The designation "Showa 60" is a year within the Japanese era. I would call it "Japanese year".
