In France they have "Les Trente Glorieuses" and in Germany the
"Wirtschaftswunder". What is the analog in Japanese?

Edit to elaborate: In the case of France there is a very specific term -- "The
Glorious Thirty Years", so there is no question of which period in history we
are referring to.

What I am looking for is a similarly specific term in Japanese--provided of
course that such a specific term exists. Perhaps just like with Germany
("economic miracle") there is no such specific term.

The current answer given now is 高度経済成長期, which translates roughly to "period
of high economic growth". Is there perhaps a more specific term than that?

Edit #2: In the Wikipedia and Kotobank links, there is also some mention of
the post WWI boom, the boom through 1944, and the Meiji Restoration. So might
there perhaps be some ambiguity as to what 高度経済成長期 refers to? Or is it
unambiguous?

In contrast, there is, presumably, no other period of thirty years in French
history which is commonly regarded as "glorious", so there is no ambiguity
here. We know you're referring to the postwar era when you talk about "Les
Trente Glorieuses".

Similarly, even though the term "economic miracle" is not very specific, I
believe in Germany when you talk about "Wirtschaftswunder", people generally
take it to refer to the postwar period.

What is the Japanese term for the postwar economic miracle?
I think it's
[高度成長](http://kotobank.jp/word/%E9%AB%98%E5%BA%A6%E6%88%90%E9%95%B7)
(こうどせいちょう) or more fully
[高度経済成長](http://kotobank.jp/word/%E9%AB%98%E5%BA%A6%E7%B5%8C%E6%B8%88%E6%88%90%E9%95%B7)
(こうどけいざいせいちょう).

There's also an article for
[高度経済成長](http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%AB%98%E5%BA%A6%E7%B5%8C%E6%B8%88%E6%88%90%E9%95%B7)
