Change of era

*; 650: The "Hakuchi" era began in the sixth year of the "Taika" era.Brown, Delmer "et al". (1979). " Gukanshō," p. 267.] The "daimyo" of Nagato province brought a white pheasant to the court as a gift for the emperor. This white pheasant was then construed as a good omen. Emperor Kōtoku was extraordinarily pleased by this special avian rarity, and he wanted the entire court to see this white bird for themselves. He commanded a special audience in which he could formally invite the "sadaijin" and the "udaijin" to join him in admiring the rare bird; and on this occasion, the emperor caused the "nengō" to be changed to "Hakuchi" (meaning "white pheasant"). [see above] ]

Events of the "Hakuchi" era

* "Hakuchi 1" (650): Kōtoku commanded that all prisoners were to be granted liberty throughout the country. [see above] ]
* "Hakuchi 5", in the 1st month (654): A great number of rats moved into the province of "Yamato"; and this was construed as a sign that the capital should be moved. [see above] ]
* "Hakuchi 5" (654): Kōtoku died at the age of 59 after a reign of 10 years -- five years during "Taika", and five years during "Hakuchi". [Varley, H. Paul. (1980). "Jinnō Shōtōki," p. 133; Titsingh, p. 50.]
