The now() method of java.time.chrono.JapaneseDate class is used to get the current Japanese date according to the Japanese calendar system from the specified clock.
Syntax:
public static JapaneseDate now(Clock clock)
Parameter: This method takes the object of the clock on the basis of which Japanese date is going to be formed.
Return Value: This method returns the current Japanese date according to the Japanese calendar system from the specified clock.
Below are the examples to illustrate the now() method:
Example 1:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate now() method  import java.util.*;import java.io.*;import java.time.*;import java.time.chrono.*;import java.time.temporal.*;  public class GFG {    public static void main(String[] argv)    {        try {            // Creating and initializing clock            Clock clock = Clock.systemUTC();              // Creating and initializing            // JapaneseDate Object            JapaneseDate hidate                = JapaneseDate.now(clock);              // Display the result            System.out.println("JapaneseDate: "                               + hidate);        }        catch (DateTimeException e) {            System.out.println("passed parameter can"                               + " not form a date");            System.out.println("Exception thrown: "                               + e);        }    }} |
Output:
JapaneseDate: Japanese Heisei 32-03-23
Example 2:
Java

Output:
JapaneseDate: Japanese Heisei 32-03-23
