Genki (era)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Genki (元亀) was a Japanese era name (年号, nengō, "year name") after Eiroku and before Tenshō. This period spanned from April 1570 through July 1573.[1] The reigning emperor was Ōgimachi-tennō (正親町天皇).[2]

Change of era

[edit]
  • Genki gannen (元亀元年); 1570: The era name was changed because of various wars. The previous era ended and a new one commenced in Eiroku 13, on the 23rd day of the 4th month.
