Jingo-keiun

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jingo-keiun (神護景雲) was a Japanese era name (年号,, nengō,, lit. "year name") after Tenpyō-jingo and before Hōki. This period started in August 767 and ended in October 770.[1] The reigning monarch was Shōtoku-tennō (称徳天皇).[2] This was the same woman who had reigned as the former Empress Kōken (孝謙天皇).[3]

  • 28 August 770 (Jingo-keiun 4, 4th day of the 8th month): In the 5th year of Shōtoku's reign, the empress died; and she named Prince Shirakabe as her heir. The succession (senso) was received and soon after, Emperor Kōnin is said to have accepted the monarch's role and duties and powers (sokui).[4] This was confirmed in ceremonies.[5]
