==Change of era==
* '''February 14, 1154''' {{nihongo|''Kyūju gannen''|久寿元年}}<!-- NengoCalc 久寿一年一月一日 -->: The new era name was created to mark an event or a number of events.{{Clarify|date=January 2010}}  The previous era ended and a new one commenced in ''Ninpei'' 4, on the 28th day of the 10th month of 1154.<ref name="b326">Brown, p. 326.</ref>

==Events of the ''Kyūju'' era==
* '''1154''' (''Kyūju 1, 5th month ''): The ''[[udaijin]]'' Minamoto Masasada retired from public life to become a priest at age 61. He died several years later.<ref name="t188">Titsingh, [https://books.google.com/books?id=18oNAAAAIAAJ&dq=nipon+o+dai+itsi+ran&pg=PP9  p. 188.]</ref>
* '''1154''' (''Kyūju 1, 8th month''): Fujiwara Saneyoshi, Grand General of the Right, was elevated to the role of Grand General of the Left; and the former ''[[dainagon]]'' Fujiwara Kanenaga (aged 17) was elevated to take on the newly vacated role of Grand General of the Right.<ref name="t188"/>
* '''August 22, 1155''' (''Kyūju 2, 23rd day of the 7th month'')<!-- NengoCalc 久寿二年七月二十三日 -->: [[Emperor Konoe]] died at the age of 17 years without leaving any heirs.<ref name="b326"/>
* '''August 23, 1155''' (''Kyūju 2, 24th day of the 7th month'')<!-- NengoCalc 久寿二年七月二十四日 -->: In the 14th year of Konoe''-tennō''{{'}}s reign (近衛天皇14年), the emperor died; and despite an ensuring dispute over who should follow her as sovereign, contemporary scholars then construed that the succession (''senso'') was received by a younger brother, the 14th son of former-[[Emperor Toba]]. Shortly thereafter, Emperor Go-Shirakawa is said to have acceded to the throne (''sokui'').<ref>Titsingh, [https://books.google.com/books?id=18oNAAAAIAAJ&dq=nipon+o+dai+itsi+ran&pg=PP9  p. 189]; Brown, p. 326; Varley, p. 44. [A distinct act of ''senso'' is unrecognized prior to [[Emperor Tenji]]; and all sovereigns except [[Empress Jitō|Jitō]],  [[Emperor Yōzei|Yōzei]], [[Emperor Go-Toba|Go-Toba]], and [[Emperor Fushimi|Fushimi]] have ''senso'' and ''sokui'' in the same year until the reign of [[Emperor Go-Murakami|Go-Murakami]].]</ref>
