Shuchō (朱鳥?), alternatively read as Suchō or Akamitori, was a Japanese era name (年号,, nengō,?, lit. "year name") after a gap following Hakuchi (650-654) and before another gap lasting until Taihō (701-704). This Shuchō period briefly spanned a period of months from 686 through 687. The reigning sovereigns were Temmu-tennō (天武天皇?) and Jitō-tennō (持統天皇?).[1]
Change of era
- 686 Shuchō gannen (朱鳥元年?): The new era name was created to mark an event or series of events, but the nengō did not survive Emperor Temmu's death. The era ended with the accession of Temmu's successor, Empress Jitō.
