Kanpo
Kampō (寛保) was a Japanese era after Gembun and before Enkyō and spanned from 1741 to 1744. The reigning emperor was Sakuramachi.
Change of Era
Based on the belief in Chinese astrology that the 58th year of the sexagenary cycle brings changes, on the 27th day of the 2nd month of Gembun 6 (1741), the era was changed to Kampō (寛保, "Keeping lenient/generous")
