::summary Period of Japanese history (1460–1466) ::

Kanshō was a Japanese era name after Chōroku and before Bunshō. This period spanned from 1 February 1461 (21st day of 12th month of Choruko 4) through 14 March 1466 (28th day of 2nd month of Kansho 7. The reigning emperors were Go-Hanazono-tennō and Go-Tsuchimikado-tennō.

Change of era

  • 1460 Kanshō gannen: 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 was forced out of it.
  • 1461 (Kanshō 2): The Kanshō famine ceased.
  • 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. Until former-Emperor Go-Komatsu died in 1433, Go-Hanazono held only a title. Although he may have been identified as the formal head of the Daïri or the Imperial "government", the fact-of-the-matter was that any real authority in the court was wielded by his "retired" uncle. During these years, Go-Komatsu exercised indirect powers in a uniquely Japanese a practice known as cloistered rule. After Komatsu's death, Go-Hanazono enjoyed 30 years of direct imperial rule; and after he did step down from the Chrysanthemum Throne, Go-Hanozano intended that the conventional pattern of indirect government by cloistered emperors would be resumed. After Go-Hanazono gave up the throne, there were no further abdications until 1586 (Tenshō 14), when Emperor Ōgimachi gave over the reins of government to a grandson who would come to be known as Emperor Go-Yōzei. The dearth of abdications is attributable to the disturbed state of the country and to the fact that there was neither any dwelling in which an ex-emperor could live nor any excess funds in the treasury to support him. In this instance, the former emperor lived another seven years after he descended from the throne. At age 52, Go-Hanazono died on January 18, 1471 (Bunmei 3, 12th month). --
