From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Homonyms

Kōan may refer to:

• Kōan (Kamakura period) (貞元), Japanese era from 1278 to 1288
• Kōan (Muromachi period) (承元), Japanese era from 1361 to 1362

This set of nengō used to be identified as

• Koan (first) (貞元), Japanese era from 1278 to 1288
• Koan (second) (承元), Japanese era from 1361 to 1362

It was suggested that the period designations would be clearer; and the same pattern seemed useful in the cases of other homonym pairs in the list of Japanese era names:

   * 976_ 貞元 |Jōgen (976 - 978)
   * 1046 永承 |Eishō (1046 - 1053)
   * 1099 康和 |Kōwa (1099 - 1104)
   * 1131 天承 |Tenshō (1131 - 1132)
   * 1142 康治 |Kōji (1142 - 1144)
   * 1207 承元 |Jōgen (1207 - 1211)
   * 1222 貞応 |Jōō (1222 - 1224)

   * 1312 正和 |Shōwa (1312 - 1317)
   * 1361 康安 |Kōan (1361 - 1362) ---> [Kōan (Muromachi period)]
