The most commonly used date format in Japan is year month day (weekday), with the Japanese characters meaning year, month and day inserted after the numerals. Example: 2008年12月31日 (水) for Wednesday 31 December 2008.
The international format defined by ISO (ISO 8601) tries to address all these problems by defining a numerical date system as follows: YYYY - MM - DD where. YYYY is the year [all the digits, i.e. 2012] MM is the month [01 (January) to 12 (December)] DD is the day [01 to 31]
It works in the same way for Japanese months: First write the number corresponding to the month concerned, then the kanji 月 gatsu. Thus: １月 ichi-gatsu: January.
