Ōan

Japanese era from February 1368 to February 1375

Ōan (応安), also romanized as Ō-an, was a Japanese era name (年号, nengō, lit. year name) of the Northern Court during the Nanboku-chō period after Jōji and before Eiwa. This period started in February 1368 and ended in February 1375.[1] The pretenders in Kyoto were Emperor Go-Kōgon (後光厳天皇, Go-Kōgon-tennō)[2] and Emperor Go-En'yū (後円融天皇, Go-En'yū-tennō)[3] The Southern Court rivals in Yoshino during this time were Emperor Go-Murakami (後村上天皇, Go-Murakami-tennō) and Emperor Chōkei (長慶天皇, Chōkei-tennō).[4]
