Jingo-keiun

Jingo-keiun (神護景雲) was a Japanese era name (年号,, nengō, "year name") after Tenpyō-jingo and before Hōki. This period spanned the years from August 767 through October 770.[1] The reigning empress was Empress Shōtoku-tennō (称徳天皇). This was the same woman who had reigned previously as the former Kōken-tennō (孝謙天皇).[2]
