Bunpō

Bunpō (文保), also romanized as Bumpō, was a Japanese era name (年号, nengō,, lit. "year name") after Shōwa and before Gen'ō. This period spanned the years from February 1317 to April 1319.[1] The reigning Emperors were Emperor Hanazono-tennō (花園天皇) and Go-Daigo-tennō (後醍醐天皇).[2]

Change of era

Events of the Bunpō Era

During this era, Negotiations between the Bakufu and the two lines resulted in an agreement to alternate the throne between the two lines every 10 years (the Bunpō Agreement). This agreement did not last very long, being broken by Emperor Go-Daigo.
