Template:Nihongo, also romanized as Enkei, was a Template:Nihongo after Tokuji and before Ōchō. This period spanned the years from October 1308 through April 1311.<ref>Nussbaum, Louis-Frédéric. (2005). "Enkei" in Template:Google books; n.b., Louis-Frédéric is pseudonym of Louis-Frédéric Nussbaum, see Deutsche Nationalbibliothek Authority File.</ref> The reigning emperor was Template:Nihongo.<ref>Titsingh, Isaac. (1834). Template:Google books; Varley, H. Paul. Jinnō Shōtōki, pp. 239-241.</ref>
Change of era
- 1308, also called Template:Nihongo: The new era name was created to mark the accession of Emperor Hanazono.<ref>Varley, p. 240.</ref> The previous era ended and the new one commenced in Tokuji 3. The era name is derived from the Book of the Later Han (5th century AD) and combines the characters Template:Linktext ("extend, lengthen") and Template:Linktext ("jubilation"). It should not be confused with the later Enkyō era of 1744–48, which used a different second character (Template:Linktext, "enjoy").
Events of the Enkyō era
Initially, former-Emperor Fushimi administered the court up through the time he took the tonsure as a Buddhist monk,<ref>Varley, p. 241.</ref> which happened after this nengō ended.<ref name="t279">Titsingh, Template:Google books.</ref>
- 1308 (Enkyō 1): At the death of Emperor Go-Nijō, Hanazono accedes to the Chrysanthemum Throne at age 12 years; and Takaharu-shinnō, the second son of former-Emperor Go-Uda is elevated as the heir apparent under the direction of the Kamakura shogunate.<ref>Titsingh, Template:Google books; Ponsonby-Fane, Richard. (1959) The Imperial House of Japan, p. 204.</ref>
- 1308 (Enkyō 1, 10th month): Kujō Moronori resigns his position as sesshō; and he is replaced in that role by Takatsukasa Fuyuhira.<ref name="t278">Titsingh, Template:Google books.</ref>
- 1309 (Enkyō 2, 2nd month): Konoe Iehira is elevated to the position of sadaijin.<ref name="t278"/>
- 1310 (Enkyō 3, 11th month): The Rokuhara Tandai in Kyoto, Hōjō Sadafusa, died and Hōjō Tokiatsu was named to take his place as Kyoto representative of the military government in Kamakura.<ref name="t279"/>
