Kanpō
Japanese era from April 1741 to April 1744
Kanpō (寛保), also known as Kampō, was a Japanese era name (年号,, nengō,, lit. "year name"), also known as Kampō, after Genbun and before Enkyō. This period started in February 1741 and ended in February 1744.[1] During this time, the emperor was Sakuramachi-tennō (桜町天皇).[2]
