it is a tool from Japanese kimono-making. the transliteration into the Roman alphabet is spelled 'hera' for a reason.
this is NOT the time to let the fact that literally every single Greek name you have ever been taught in an English-language classroom* was taught with a blatantly wrong pronunciation get into the speech queue.
unless somebody Japanese informs you otherwise, stop trying to pronounce it 'era'. That's not an eta, it's a goddamn H.
Thank you.
