Suiko period
The Suiko period is a chronological timeframe during the Asuka period of Japanese history.[1] This period overlaps all but 7 years of Empress Suiko's reign (604-628) or it is used as a synonym for her reign (593-628).[2]
Calendar
The adoption of the Sexagenary cycle calendar (Jikkan Jūnishi) was a significant event in the reign of Empress Suiko.[3] This pre-dates the system of Japanese era names (年号,, nengō,, lit. "year name") which was introduced in 645.[4]
