Suiko period

The Suiko period is a chronological timeframe during the Asuka period of Japanese history. This period overlaps all but 7 years of Empress Suiko's reign (604–628) or it is used as a synonym for her reign (593–628).

The adoption of the Sexagenary cycle calendar (Jikkan Jūnishi) was a significant event in the reign of Empress Suiko. This pre-dates the system of Japanese era names (年号,, nengō,; lit. "year name") which was introduced in 645.
