Shōhei

For the Japanese era from 931 through 938, see Jōhei.

Shōhei (正平) was a Japanese era name (年号, nengō, lit. year name) of the Southern Court during the Nanboku-chō period after Kōkoku and before Kentoku. This period started in December 1346 and ended in July 1370.^[1]

The monarchs during this time were Emperor Go-Murakami (後村上天皇, Go-Murakami-tennō)^[2] and Emperor Chōkei (長慶天皇, Chōkei-tennō).^[3] The Northern Court pretenders in Kyoto were Emperor Kōmyō (光明天皇, Kōmyō-tennō),^[4] Emperor Sukō (崇光天皇, Sukō-tennō)^[5] and Emperor Go-Kōgon (後光厳天皇, Go-Kōgon-tennō).^[6]
