The Kannin (寛仁) era was a period in Japanese history. It was a special way of naming years, like how we use "2024" today. The Kannin era came after the Chōwa era and before the Jian era. This time period lasted from April 1017 to February 1021. During these years, Emperor Go-Ichijō was the ruler of Japan.
