Shōkyō (正慶, also pronounced "Shōkei") was a brief initial Japanese era of the Northern Court during the Kamakura period, after Gentoku and before Kenmu, lasting from April 1332 to April 1333. [1] The reigning Emperors were Emperor Go-Daigo in the south and Emperor Kōgon in the north. [2]
During the Meiji period, an Imperial decree dated March 3, 1911 established that the legitimate reigning monarchs of this period were the direct descendants of Emperor Go-Daigo through Emperor Go-Murakami, whose Southern Court had been established in exile in Yoshino, near Nara. [3]
Until the end of the Edo period, the militarily superior pretender-Emperors supported by the Ashikaga shogunate had been mistakenly incorporated in Imperial chronologies despite the undisputed fact that the Imperial Regalia were not in their possession. [3]
This illegitimate Northern Court had been established in Kyoto by Ashikaga Takauji. [3]
In this time frame, Genkō (1331–1333) was the Southern Court equivalent nengō.
