Kanshō

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kanshō (寛正) was a Japanese era name (年号, nengō,, lit. "year name") after Chōroku and before Bunshō. This period spanned from December 1460 through February 1466.[1] The reigning emperors were Go-Hanazono-tennō (後花園天皇) and Go-Tsuchimikado-tennō (後土御門天皇).[2]

Change of era

  • 1460 Kanshō gannen (寛正元年): The era name was changed to mark an event or a number of events. The old era ended and a new one commenced in Chōroku 4.

Events of the Kanshō era

  • 1460 (Kanshō 1, 9th month): Wakae Castle in Kawachi Province was destroyed when Hatakeyama Yoshinari (畠山 義就, 1437-21 January 1491) was forced out of it.[3]
  • August 21, 1464 (Kanshō 5, 19th day of the 7th month): Go-Hanazono resigned his throne in favor of his son, who would be known as Emperor Go-Tsuchimikado.[4]
