Kanpo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kampō (寛保) was a Japanese era after Gembun and before Enkyō and spanned from 1741 to 1744. The reigning emperor was Sakuramachi.

[edit] Change of era

Based on the belief in Chinese astrology that the 58th year of the sexagenary cycle brings changes, on the 27th day of the 2nd month of Gembun 6 (1741), the era was changed to Kampō (寛保, "Keeping lenient/generous")
