The Mommu 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.〔Murray, David. (1894). , citing William Bramsen. (1880). ; compare, the Japanese National Diet Library website explains that ("Japan organized its first calendar in the 12th year of Suiko (604)" ), which was a pre-''nengō'' time frame.〕 This periodization is consistent with the traditional dates asserted for the reign of Emperor Mommu, from 697 through 707.〔Murray, ; the system of counting from year-periods (nengō) do not ordinarily overlap with the reigns of the early monarchs; and generally, a new one was chosen whenever it was deemed necessary to commemorate an auspicious or ward off a malign event.〕 ==Periodization== The adoption of the Sexagenary cycle calendar (''Jikkan Jūnishi'') in Japan is attributed to Empress Suiko in 604;〔Nussbaum, Louis-Frédéric. (2005). "''Jikkan Jūnishi''" in ; n.b., Louis-Frédéric is pseudonym of Louis-Frédéric Nussbaum, ''see'' (Deutsche Nationalbibliothek Authority File )〕 and this Chinese calendar continued in use throughout the Mommu period. In 645, the system of was introduced.〔Titsingh, Isaac. (1834). 〕 However, after the reign of Emperor Kotoku, this method of segmenting time was temporarily abandoned or allowed to lapse. This interval continued during the Mommu period. Neither Empress Mommu's reign nor the Mommu periodization are included in the list of ''nengō'' for this explicit duration of time, which comes after Suchō and before Taihō. In the post-Taika or pre-Taihō chronology, the first year of Emperor Mommu's reign (文武天皇元年 or 文武統皇1年) is also construed as the first year of the Mommu period (文武1年).〔Tsuchihashi, Paul. (1952).
