Bun'ei (文永?) was a Japanese era name (年号, nengō,?, lit. "year name") after Kōchō and before Kenji. This period spanned the years from 1264 to 1275. The reigning emperor was Kameyama-tennō (亀山天皇?).[1]

[edit] Change of era
- Bun'ei gannen (文永元年?); 1264: 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 Kōchō 4.
[edit] Events of the Bun'ei era
- Bun'ei 11, in the 1st month (1274): In the 15th year of Kameyama-tennō's reign (亀山天皇15年), the emperor abdicated; and the succession (‘‘senso’’) was received by his cousin.[2]
- Bun'ei 11, in the 3rd month (1274): Emperor Go-Uda is said to have acceded to the throne (‘‘sokui’’).[3] The retired Emperor Kameyama continued to exercise power as cloistered emperor.
- Bun'ei 11, in the 10th month (1275): Hirohito-shinnō was named Crown Prince and heir to his first cousin, the Daikakuji-tō Emperor Go-Uda. This was the result of political maeuvering by Hirohito's father, the Jimyōin-tō Emperor Go-Fukakusa.[4]
