Entoku (延徳?) was a Japanese era name (年号, nengō,?, lit. "year name") after Chōkyō and before Meio. This period spanned the years from August 1489 through July 1492.[1] The reigning emperor was Go-Tsuchimikado-tennō (後土御門天皇?).[2]

Change of era

  • 1489 Entoku gannen (延徳元年?): The era name was changed to mark an event or a number of events. The old era ended and a new one commenced in Chōkyō 3.

Events of the Entoku era

  • April 26, 1489 (Entoku 1, 26th day of the 3rd month): The Shogun, Yoshihisa died at age 25 while leading a military campaign in Ōmi province. He had led the shogonate for 18 years. His father, he former-Shogun Yoshimasa, was strongly afflicted by his death; and because of this unanticipated development, he was moved to reconcile with his brother, Yoshimi.[3]
  • January 27, 1490 (Entoku 2, 7th day of the 1st month): The former-Shogun Yoshimasa died at age 56.[3]
  • 1490 (Entoku 2, 7th month): Ashikaga Yoshimura (known as Ashikaga Yoshitane after 1501 when he will change his name),[4] nephew of Yoshimasa, is proclaimed as shogun at age 25.[3]
