Shuchō

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shuchō (朱鳥), also romanized as Suchō or Akamitori, was a Japanese era name (年号,, nengō,, lit. "year name") which lsated only a few months—from June through September 686.[1] The reigning monarchs were Temmu-tennō (天武天皇)[2] and Jitō-tennō (持統天皇).[3]

  • In 686, Shuchō gannen (朱鳥元年) was created by Emperor Temmu, but the nengō survived for only a few months after Temmu's death. The era ended when Empress Jitō was confirmed as Temmu's successor.
