Period of Japanese history (686 CE)
Shuchō (朱鳥 ) , alternatively read as Suchō or Akamitori , was a
Japanese era name (年号 , nengō , "year name") after a gap following
Hakuchi (650–654) and before another gap lasting until
Taihō (701–704). This Shuchō period briefly spanned a period of mere months, June through September 686.
[1] The reigning sovereigns were
Tenmu -tennō (天武天皇 ) and
Jitō -tennō (持統天皇 ) .

History
In 686, also known as Shuchō gannen (朱鳥元年 ) , the new era name referred to the red bird of the south, which was one of the Chinese directional animals.
[3] The nengō did not survive Emperor Tenmu's death. The era ended with the accession of Temmu's successor, Empress Jitō.
