Being that I was born on the other side of the world I find my knowledge of Japanese History completely inadequate, certainly nowhere near enough to get everyone else's little in-facts let alone feel confident enough to write anything.
So I've decided to create a thread that can be used as a reference for people who aren't so history savvy at all.
That means this thread will contain everything Japan no matter how small an event is it will be in here, sorted by date.
In the beginning I expect it will be full of gaps, what other significant events happened during these years? If you have anything to add leave a comment and list your source.
Dates and snippets can go as far back or as far forward as you want, start anywhere you want and be factual.

If you can please use the format below when submitting an entry.
YY/MM/DD
Japanese Date system (If applies)
Snippet relevant only to this year

For example:
1629, December 22
Kan'ei 6, 8th day of the 11th month

Go-Mizunoo abdicated.
The emperor renounced the throne in favor of his daughter, Okiko.
The priests of the "Purple Robe Incident" went into exile.
Okiko became the Empress Meishō.


Once more is up I'm going to separate it by eras or every 50 years.
Nothing after 1900 please.
