From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kōryaku (康暦) was a Japanese era name (年号, nengō, lit. year name) of the Northern Court during the Nanboku-chō period after Eiwa and before Eitoku. This period started in March 1379 and ended in February 1381.[1] The pretender in Kyoto was Emperor Go-En'yū (後円融天皇, Go-En'yū-tennō)[2] Go-En'yū's Southern Court rival in Yoshino during this time was Emperor Chōkei (長慶天皇, Chōkei-tennō).[3]
