Bun'ō (文応) was a special way Japan kept track of time, like how we use years today. It was a Japanese era that came after an era called Shōgen and before Kōchō.
The Bun'ō period started in April 1260 and ended in February 1261. During this short time, the emperor of Japan was Kameyama-tennō (亀山天皇).
