Ryakuō

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ryakuō (暦応) was a Japanese era name (年号, nengō, lit. year name) of the Northern Court during the Nanboku-chō period after Kemmu and before Kōei. The period started in August 1338 and ended in April 1342.[1] The pretender in Kyoto was Emperor Kōmyō (光明天皇, Kōmyō-tennō).[2] Kōmyō's Southern Court rival in Yoshino during this time was Emperor Go-Murakami (後村上天皇, Go-Murakami-tennō).[3]
