Reiki (era)

. [Titsingh, Isaac. (1834). "Annales des empereurs du Japon," pp. 65-67; Brown, Delmer "et al." (1979). "Gukanshō," pp. 271-272; Varley, H. Paul. (1980). "Jinnō Shōtōki." pp. 140-141.]

Change of era

*; 715: The new era name was created to mark the beginning of the reign of Empress Genshō. The previous era ended and the new one commenced in "Wadō" 8, on the 3rd day of the 9th monthof 715. [Brown, p. 272.]

Events of the "Reiki" era

* "Reiki 1" (715): Empress Gemmei abdicates; and her daughter receives the succession (‘‘senso’’). Shortly thereafter, Empress Genshō formally accedes to the throne (‘‘sokui’’). Emperor Mommu, Genshō's father, had died in 707, but his son (her brother) was deemed too young to receive the succession ("senso"); and instead, the mother of the male heir formally acceded to the throne ("sokui") as Empress Gemmei until her son would grow mature enough to accept "senso" and "sokui". The future Emperor Shōmu's sister undertook a similar responsibility as Empress Genshō. [Varley, H. Paul. (1980). "Jinnō Shōtōki," p. 44. [A distinct act of "senso" is unrecognized prior to Emperor Tenji; and all sovereigns except Jitō, Yōzei, Go-Toba, and Fushimi have "senso" and "sokui" in the same year until the reign of Go-Murakami.] ]
