TemporalUnit unit)
Parameter: This method takes the following argument as a parameter:
- amountToSubtract: which is the value of temporal unit which is going to subtracted from the current Japanese date.
- unit: which is the object of temporal unit or chrono unit.
Return Value: This method returns the Japanese date after subtracting an amount of temporal accessor unit from current Japanese date.
Below are the examples to illustrate the minus() method:
Example 1:
Java
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 {
JapaneseDate hidate
= JapaneseDate.now();
System.out.println( "old japanese date: "
+ hidate);
JapaneseDate newdate
= hidate.minus(
22 , ChronoUnit.DAYS);
System.out.println( "new japanese date: "
+ newdate);
}
catch (DateTimeException e) {
System.out.println( "passed parameter can"
+ " not form a date" );
System.out.println( "Exception thrown: "
+ e);
}
}
}

Output:
old japanese date: Japanese Heisei 32-03-23
new japanese date: Japanese Heisei 32-03-01
Example 2:
Java
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

import java.time.chrono.*;
import java.time.temporal.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] argv)
{
try {
JapaneseDate hidate
= JapaneseDate.now();
System.out.println( "old japanese date: "
+ hidate);
JapaneseDate newdate
= hidate.minus(
4 , ChronoUnit.DECADES);
System.out.println( "new japanese date: "
+ newdate);
}
catch (DateTimeException e) {
System.out.println( "passed parameter can"
+ " not form a date" );
