Kyōhō famine (1732)
Refers to the great famine that occurred in Japan during the Kyōhō era, particularly severe in 1732. Used in historical contexts.
The Kyōhō famine is considered one of the three great famines of the Edo period.
Named after the Kyōhō era (1716–1736) in which it occurred. The exact derivation is straightforward: 享保 (Kyōhō) + の (possessive particle) + 飢饉 (famine).
