Last Updated : 31 Mar, 2020
The now() method of java.time.chrono.JapaneseDate class is used to get the current Japanese date according to the Japanese calendar system in the specified zone. Syntax: 
public static JapaneseDate now(ZoneId zone)
Parameter: This method takes the object of zone id 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 ZoneId
            ZoneId id = ZoneId.systemDefault();

            // Creating and initializing
            // JapaneseDate Object
            JapaneseDate hidate
                = JapaneseDate.now(id);

            // 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 
// Java program to demonstrate now() method

import java.util.*;

import java.time.*;
import java.time.chrono.*;
import java.time.temporal.*;

public class GFG {

    {
        try {

            // Creating and initializing ZoneId
            ZoneId id = ZoneId.of("Z");

            // Creating and initializing
            // JapaneseDate Object
            JapaneseDate hidate
                = JapaneseDate.now(id);

            // 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
