Enbun (延文), also known as Embun,[1] was a Japanese era name (年号, nengō, lit. year name) of the Northern Court during the Nanboku-chō period after Bunna and before Kōan. This period started in March 1356 and ended in March 1361;[2] The pretender in Kyoto was Emperor Go-Kōgon (後光厳天皇, Go-Kōgon-tennō).[3] Go-Kōgon's Southern Court rival in Yoshino during this time was Emperor Go-Murakami (後村上天皇, Go-Murakami-tennō).[4]
