Gen'ō (元応) was a Japanese era name (年号,, nengō,, lit. "year name") after Bunpō and before Genkyō. This period started in April 1319 and ended in February 1321.[1] The reigning Emperor was Go-Daigo-tennō (後醍醐天皇).[2]
After the abdication of Emperor Hanazono, Takaharu-shinno was proclaimed emperor. Nijō Michihira was Chancellor (kampaku); but the court remained under the direction of former-Emperor Go-Uda. Prince Morikuni was the shogun in Kamakura; and Hōjō Takatoki was the shogunate's chief minister (shikken').[3]
