Change of era[edit source]

1278 Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Yesno' not found.: 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 Kenji 4. The era name comes from the Veritable Records of the Emperor Taizong of Tang and combines the characters Template:Linktext ("broad") and Template:Linktext ("peaceful"). It should not be confused with the later Kōan era of 1361–62, which used a different character for kō (Template:Linktext, "peace").

Events of the Kōan era[edit source]

August 15, 1281 (Kōan 4, 7th day of the intercalary 7th month): Battle of Kōan -- The second Mongol invasion of Japan is foiled, as a large typhoon – famously called a kamikaze, or divine wind – destroys much of the combined Chinese and Korean fleet and forces, numbering over 140,000 men and 4,000 ships.
November 27, 1287 (Kōan 10, 21st day of the 10th month): In the 14th year of Go-Uda-tennōTemplate:'s reign (後宇多天皇14年), the emperor abdicated; and the succession (‘‘senso’’) was received by his cousin. Shortly thereafter, Emperor Fushimi is said to have acceded to the throne (‘‘sokui’’).^[3]
