Keian
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Keian (慶安) was a Japanese era name after Shōhō and before Jōō and spanned from 1648 to 1652. The reigning emperors were Go-Kōmyō and Go-Sai.
[edit] Change of era
Because of criticism that Shōhō was related to Shōbō (焼亡, "death by burning"), on the 2nd day of the fifth month of Shōhō 5 (1648), the era changed.
[edit] Source of Name
From the I Ching, 乃終有慶、安貞之吉、応地無疆 (At the end happiness, joy of quiet righteousness, answer the world unlimited??)
[edit] Events of the Keian Era
- Keian 5 - Keian uprising. Discovery of Yui Shōsetsu's plan to overthrow the Edo Bakufu
