Man'en


Man'en was a Japanese era name after Ansei and before Bunkyū. This period spanned the years from March 1860 through February 1861. The reigning emperor was Emperor Kōmei.

Change of era

The new era name is derived from an hortatory aphorism to be found in The Book of the Later Han: "With 100,000,000,000 descendants, your name will forever be recorded".
