The Monmu period is a chronological timeframe during the Asuka period of Japanese history. The Mommu period describes a span of years which were considered to have begun in the 1357th year of the Yamato dynasty.[1]
This periodization is consistent with the traditional dates asserted for the reign of Emperor Monmu, from 697 through 707.[2]
