Change of era
- 1501 Bunki gannen (文亀元年): The era name was changed to mark the anniversary of the enthronement of Go-Kashiwabara and the 58th year of the Chinese zodiac. The previous era ended and a new one commenced in 1501 (Meiō 10, 29th day of the 2nd month).
Events of the Bunki era
- 1501 (Bunki 1): The former shōgun Yoshimura was exiled; and he retired to Suō Province, and he lived in exile in the home of the daimyō of that han. He changed his name to Ashikaga Yoshitane; and he summoned all the military forces of the western empire to come to his aid. Hosokawa Masamoto was made master of all the provinces which encircled the Kinai.[3]
- 1502 (Bunki 2, 7th month): Minamoto no Yoshitaka was elevated to the 2nd tier of the 4th class kuge officials, and he expressed thanks to the emperor for that honor. In the same month, the name of Ashikaga Yoshitaka was changed to that of Yoshizumi.[4]
