Man'en
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Man'en (万延) was a Japanese era after Ansei and before Bunkyū and spanned from March 18 (?), 1860 to February 19 (?), 1861. The reigning emperor was Kōmei.
[edit] Change of era
Due to the fire at Edo Castle and the disturbance at the Sakuradamon, on March 18 (?), Ansei 7 (1860), the era was changed to Man'en.
[edit] Source of Name
From The Book of the Later Han, "豊千億之子孫、歴万載而永延" (Translation unclear to me)
