Entoku
Period of Japanese history (1489–1492)
Entoku (延徳) was a Japanese era name (年号, nengō, "year name") after Chōkyō and before Meiō. This period spanned the years from August 1489 through July 1492.[1] The reigning emperor was Go-Tsuchimikado-tennō (後土御門天皇).[2]
- 1489 Entoku gannen (延徳元年): The era name was changed to mark an event or a number of events. The old era ended and a new one commenced in Chōkyō 3.
- April 26, 1489 (Entoku 1, 26th day of the 3rd month): The shōgun Yoshihisa died at age 25 while leading a military campaign in Ōmi Province. He had led the shogunate for 18 years. His father, the former Shogun Yoshimasa, was strongly afflicted by his death; and because of this unanticipated development, he was moved to reconcile with his brother, Yoshimi.[3]
