Gennin (元仁?) was a Japanese era name (年号, nengō,?, lit. "year name") after Jōō and before Karoku. This period spanned the years from November 1224 to April 1225.[1] The reigning emperor was Go-Horikawa-tennō (後堀河天皇?).[2]

Change of era

  • 1224 Gennin gannen (元仁元年?): The era name was changed to mark an event or a number of events. The previous era ended and a new one commenced in Jōō 3.

Events of the Gennin Era

  • 1224 (Gennin 1): Kyogyoshinsho was believed to have been composed in 1224; and this is also considered the year in which Jōdo Shinshū was founded.[3]
