Edo is a proper noun used to refer to the former Japanese imperial era—or more commonly, the historical name for Tokyo during much of its early modern period. In contemporary contexts it often denotes the Edo period (1603–1868) in Japanese history, or occasionally the Edo people or region in different languages. It is pronounced as two syllables with initial stress on the first: /ˈe.də/ for most English usage.
