(1834). ( ''Annales des empereurs du Japon'', pp. 63 )-65; Brown, Delmer ''et al.'' (1979). ''Gukanshō'', p. 271; Varley, H. Paul. (1980). ''Jinnō Shōtōki.'' p. 140.〕
==Change of era==
* 708 : The new era name ''Wadō'' (meaning "Japanese copper") was created because a high quality copper mine was discovered in Chichibu in Musashi province, what is now known as former Wado Mine. The previous era ended and the new one commenced in the spring of ''Keiun'' 5, on the 11th day of the 1st month of 708.〔Brown, p. 271; Titsingh, ( p. 63. )〕
The Japanese word for copper is ; and since this was indigenous copper, the ''"wa"'' (the ancient Chinese term for Japan) could be combined with the ''"dō"'' (copper) to create a new composite term -- "''wadō''"—meaning "Japanese copper." A mint was established in the province of Ōmi;〔Ponsonby-Fane, Richard Arthur Brabazon. (1959). ''The Imperial House of Japan'', p. 56.〕 and the ''Wadō'' era is famous for the coin , which is recognized as the first Japanese currency. (-- see image of ''Wadō Kaichin'' from Japan Mint Museum )
