Change of era

  • 1321 Template:Nihongo: The new era name was created to mark an event or series of events. The previous era ended and the new one commenced in Gen'ō 3. The era name is derived from the I Ching; it should not be confused with the later Genkō (1331–1334), which used a different character for Template:Transliteration (弘, "wide", instead of 亨, "go smoothly.")
