Einin (永仁) was a Japanese era name (年号, nengō, lit. "year name") after Shōō and before Shōan. This period spanned the years from August 1293 through April 1299.[1] The reigning emperors were Fushimi-tennō (伏見天皇) and Go-Fushimi-tennō (後伏見天皇).[2]

## Change of era

[edit]

* 1293 Einin gannen (永仁元年): 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 Shō'ō 6\. The era name is derived from the Book of Jin and combines the characters 永 ("eternity") and 仁 ("benevolence").

## Events of the Einen era

[edit]

* August 30, 1298 (Einin 6, 22nd day of the 7th month): In the 11th year of Fushimi-tennō's reign (伏見天皇11年), the emperor abdicated; and the succession (senso) was received by his son.[3]
* November 17, 1298 (Einin 6, 13th day of the 10th month): Emperor Go-Fushimi is said to have acceded to the throne (sokui) and the nengō was changed to Shōan to mark the beginning of a new emperor's reign.[4]
* 1299 (Einin 7): The 8th rector of the nunnery at Hokkeji died.[5]
