The Suiko period is a chronological timeframe during the Asuka period of Japanese history.[1]
This periodization is congruent with the major part of Empress Suiko's reign, which is traditionally considered to have been from 593 through 628.[2]
Calendar
The adoption of the Sexegenary 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]
Events of the Suiko period
- 604: In the 12th year of Suiko's reign, Japan organized its earliest Imperial calendar, also known as the "Suiko period".[1]
- 628: In the 35th year of Suiko, the empress abdicated;[2] and the period ended.
