Change of era

• 1306 Template:Nihongo: The new era name was created to timestamp events or series of events. The previous era ended and the new one commenced in Kagen 4. The era name is derived from the Zuo Zhuan (4th century BC) and combines the characters Template:Linktext ("benevolence, virtue") and Template:Linktext ("govern, reign").

Events of the Tokuji era

• 1308 (Tokuji 3, 8th month): In the 8th year of Go-Nijo-tennōTemplate:'s reign (後二条天皇8年), the emperor died at the young age of 24; and the succession (senso) was received by his cousin. Shortly thereafter, Emperor Hanazono is said to have acceded to the throne (sokui).<ref>Titsingh, p. 278; Varley, p. 44; a distinct act of senso is unrecognized prior to Emperor Tenji; and all sovereigns except Jitō, Yōzei, Go-Toba, and Fushimi have senso and sokui in the same year until the reign of Emperor Go-Murakami.</ref>
• 1308 (Tokuji 3, 10th month): The nengō was changed to Enkyō with the accession of Emperor Hanazono.<ref>Varley, p. 240.</ref>
