Genji era

Genji (元治) is a Japanese era name (年号, nengō, lit.

"year name") after Bunkyū and before Keiō.

This period spanned only slightly more than a single year from March 27, 1864 until May 1, 1865.

[1] The reigning emperor was Kōmei-tennō (孝明天皇).

The new era name was derived from the I Ching.
