==Change of era==
* '''January 20, 1151''' {{nihongo|''Ninpei gannen''|仁平元年}}<!-- NengoCalc  仁平一年一月一日 -->: The new era name was created to mark an event or series of events. The previous era ended and a new one commenced in ''Kyūan'' 10, on the 26th day of the 1st month of 1151.<ref>Brown, p. 326.</ref>

==Events of the ''Ninpei'' era==
* '''1151''' (''Ninpei 1, 1st month''): ''[[Sadaijin]]'' [[Fujiwara no Yorinaga]] was given additional powers in the imperial court as ''"Naï-ken,"'' which gave him the duty and opportunity of reading formal written requests before they should be presented to the emperor. This had been amongst the powers of the ''[[Sesshō]]'' or the ''[[Kampaku]].'' Factions in the court who favored Yorinaga tended to dislike [[Daijō Daijin]] [[Fujiwara Tadamichi]], and they employed any means possible to help elevate Yorinaga's position. However, Yorinaga was himself generally disliked because of his capricious character. his tactics and strategy for enhancing his own prestige were focused primarily on diminishing Tadamichi's role in the court.<ref>Titsingh, [https://books.google.com/books?id=18oNAAAAIAAJ&dq=nipon+o+dai+itsi+ran&pg=PP9  p. 187]-188.</ref>
