Kanna (era)
Japanese era name
Kanna (寛和, Kanwa) was a Japanese era name (年号,, nengō,, lit. "year name") after Eikan and before Eien. This period spanned the years from April 985 through April 987.[1] The reigning emperors were Kazan-tennō (花山天皇) and Ichijō-tennō (一条天皇).[2]
Events of the Kanna era
change- 986 (Kanna 2, 6th month): Kazan abdicated, and then he took up residence at Kazan-ji where he became a Buddhist monk.[3] The succession (senso) was received by the Crown Prince. Soon after, Emperor Ichijō's new role as emperor was confirmed by ceremonies (sokui).[4]
