Change of era

• 1275 Template:Nihongo: The new era name was created to mark an event or a number of events. The previous era ended and a new one commenced in Bun'ei 12. The era name comes from the Rites of Zhou and combines the characters Template:Linktext ("build, establish") and Template:Linktext ("govern").

Events of the Kenji era

• 1275 (Kenji 1): The Mongols sent an ambassador to Kamakura along with the delegation which accompanied the envoy from the Goryeo. The unwelcome visitor was put to death; and his severed head was publicly displayed.<ref>Titsingh, pp. 258-259 n1.</ref>
• November 23, 1275 (Kenji 1, 5th day of the 11th month): Hirohito-shinnō was named Crown Prince and heir to his first cousin, the Daikakuji-tō Emperor Go-Uda. This was the result of political maneuvering by Hirohito's father, the Jimyōin-tō Emperor Go-Fukakusa.<ref>Titsingh, Template:Google books</ref>
• 1277 (Kenji 3, 5th month): Yoshimasa laid down his office.<ref>Ackroyd, Joyce. (1982). Lessons from History: the Tokushi Yoron, p. 172.</ref>
