Keian
Keian (慶安) was a Japanese era name after Shoho and before Jo'o and spanned from 1648 to 1652. The reigning emperors were Go-Kōmyō and Go-Sai.
Change of Era
Because of criticism that Shōhō was related to Shōbō (焼亡, "death by burning"), on the 2nd day of the fifth month of Shōhō 5 (1648), the era changed.

From the I Ching, 乃終有慶、安貞之吉、応地無疆 (At the end happiness, joy of quiet righteousness, answer the world unlimited??)
