Genkō (元弘) was a Japanese era name (年号, nengō, "year name") of the Southern Court during the Era of Northern and Southern Courts after Gentoku and before Kenmu. This period spanned the years from August 1331 through January 1334.[1] The reigning Emperors were Go-Daigo-tennō (後醍醐天皇) in the south and Kōgon-tennō (光厳天皇) in the north.
