EspañolKAKITSU
'''Kakitsu''' (嘉吉) was a Japanese era name (年号, ''nengō'', lit. year name) after ''Eikyō'' and before ''Bun'an.'' This period spanned the years from 1441 through 1444. The reigning emperor was Go-Hanazono''-tennō'' (後花園天皇).
★ '''Kakitsu gannen''' (嘉吉元年) or '''Kakitsu 1''' (1451): The era name was changed to mark an event or a number of events.
★ '''Kakitsu gannen''' or '''Kakitsu 1''', on the 24th day of the 6th month (1441): Shogun Yoshinori is murdered at age 48 by Akamatsu Mitsusuke; and shortly thereafter, his 8-year-old son, Yoshikatsu, is proclaimed as the new Shogun.[1]
★ '''Kakitsu 1''', in the 9th month (1441): The murderers of Yoshinori kill themselves.[2]
★ '''Kakitsu 3''', on the 21 day of the 7th month (1443): Shogun Yoshikatsu died at the age of 10. He very much like riding horses; but he was gravely injured in a fall from a horse. This was the cause of his death. He had been shogun for only three years. His 8-year-old brother, Yoshinari, was then named shogun.[3]
★ '''Kakitsu 3''', on the 23rd day of the 9th month (1443): An armed group of rebels penetrated the palace defenses. A fire was started and one of the men sought to kill Go-Hanazono, but the emperor escaped. However, the intruders managed to steal the Three Sacred Treasures -- the mirror, the sword and the jewel. Later, a guard found the mirror and a priest found the sword, but the location of jewel was not known until the the 8th month of ''Bunnan gannen.''[4]
