What is your favorite period (era) in Japanese history and why?

Mine would be Showa (1926-1989). To me, it's the most dynamic era in terms of economic, social, technological and cultural changes and advancement. We went from literally the ruins of WW2 in 1945 to most of what we have now in only a few decades, and that is just beyond imagination even when I myself witnessed first-hand the last half of the Showa era and all of the currect Heisei era (1989 - present).
