==Events of the ''Kanna'' era==
* '''986''' (''Kanna 2, 6th month''): Kazan abdicated, and took up residence at [[Kazan-ji]] where he became a Buddhist monk. His new priestly name was Nyūkaku.<ref name="b302" />
* '''August 23, 986''' (''Kanna 2, 16th day of the 7th month'')<!-- NengoCalc 寛和二年七月十六日  -->: Iyasada-''shinnō'' was appointed as [[heir]] and [[crown prince]] at age 11.<ref name="b302" /> This followed the convention that two imperial lineages took the throne in turn, although Emperor Ichijō was in fact Iyasada's junior. He thus gained the [[nickname]] ''Sakasa-no moke-no kimi'' (the imperial heir in reverse). When Emperor Kanzan abandoned the world for holy orders, this grandson of Kaneie ascended to the throne as [[Emperor Ichijō]].<ref>Varley, p. 195.</ref>
