Reiki (era)
Reiki (霊亀) was a Japanese era name (年号,, nengō,, lit. "year name") after Wadō and before Yōrō. This period started in September 715 and ended in November 717.[1] The reigning empress was Genshō-tennō (元正天皇).[2]
Events of the Reiki era
    
- 715 (Reiki 1): In the 7th year of Gemmei's reign, the empress abdicated; and her daughter received the succession (senso).[3] Soon after, Empress Genshō's new role as empress is confirmed with ceremonies (sokui).[4]
