Hōtoku (宝徳, Hōtoku?) was a Japanese era name (年号,, nengō,?, lit. "year name") after Bun'an and before Kyotoku. This period spanned the years from 1449 through 1452. The reigning emperor was Go-Hanazono-tennō (後花園天皇, Go-Hanazono-tennō?).[1]
Change of era
- Hōtoku gannen (宝徳元年, Hōtoku gannen?); 1449: The era name was changed to mark an event or a number of events. The previous era ended and a new one commenced in Bun'an 6, on the 28th day of the 7th month of 1449.[2]
Events of the Hōtoku era
- Hōtoku 1 (1449): Ashikaga Yoshimasa becomes shogun.
- Hōtoku 3, in the 7th month (1451): A delegation from the Ryukyu Islands arrives for the first time in Heian-kyō.[3]
- Hōtoku 3 (October 14, 1451): Fire destroys structures clustered near Gango-ji in Nara,[4] but what remains gives an impression of what the oldest Buddhist temple in Japan might have been like.[5]
