Bunna
Japanese era from 1352 to 1356
Bunna (文和), also romanized as Bunwa, was a Japanese era name (年号, nengō, lit. year name) of the Northern Court during the Nanboku-chō period after Kannō and before Enbun. This period started in September 1352[1] and ended in March 1356.[2] The pretender in Kyoto was Go-Kōgon-tennō (後光厳天皇).[3] Go-Kōgon's Southern Court rival in Yoshino during this time-frame was Go-Murakami-tennō (後村上天皇).[4]
