{{History of Japan |image=Shoso-in.jpg |caption=Shōsōin}}{{nihongo|Kōji|弘治|}} was a {{nihongo|Japanese era name|年号| nengō|"year name"}} after Tenbun and before Eiroku. This period spanned the years from October 1555 through February 1558.[1] Reigning emperors were {{nihongo|Go-Nara-tennō|後奈良天皇}} and {{nihongo|Ōgimachi-tennō|正親町天皇}}.[2]Change of era- 1555 {{nihongo|Kōji gannen|弘治元年}}: The era name was changed to mark an event or a number of events. The old era ended and a new once commenced in Tenbun 24.
The name originates from the following Chinese passage: 「祇承宝命、志弘治体」. Events of the Kōji era- 1555 (Kōji 1, 1st month): A border war began between Mōri Motonari, daimyō of Aki Province, and Sue Harukata, daimyō of Suō Province.[3]
- 1555 (Kōji 1, 11th month): The Mōri forces surrounded the Sue defenders in the Battle of Itsukushima. When the outcome of the battle became clear, Sue Harutaka committed suicide; and others, including Odomo-no Yoshinaga, followed Harutaka in suicide. This victory, and the subsequent consolidation of the Mōri holdings were owing to Motonari's four sons: Mōri Takamoto, Kikkawa Motoharu, Hoda Motokiyo, and Kobayakawa Takakage.[3]
- 1555 (Kōji 1): The forces of Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin met at the confluence of the Saigawa and the Chikumagawa in Shinano Province; and the fighting was known as the Battles of Kawanakajima.[4]
- 1556 (Kōji 2): The Ōmori silver mine fell into the control of the Mōri clan during a campaign in Iwami Province.[5]
- September 27, 1557 (Kōji 3, 5th day of the 9th month): Emperor Go-Nara died at age 62.[3]
