Bunryaku (文暦), also romanized as Bunreki, was a Japanese era name (年号, nengō, lit. "year name") after Tenpuku and before Katei. This period spanned the years from November 1234 to September 1235.[1] The reigning emperor was Shijō-tennō (四条天皇).[2]

Change of era

[edit]
  • 1234 Bunryaku gannen (文暦元年): The era name was changed to mark an event or a number of events. The previous era ended and a new one commenced in Tenpuku 2.

  • 1234 (Bunryaku 1, 12th month): Kujō Yoritsune is raised to the first rank of the third class in the court hierarchy (the dōjō kuge).[3]
