Shogen (正元) was a Japanese era name. Shogen came after Shoka and before Bun'o and spanned from 1259 to 1260. Reigning emperors were Go-Fukakusa and Kameyama.
The Shogen era was in a period marked by famine and epidemics and the era name was changed twice in short succession in the hope that this might bring them to a close[1].
