Enbun

Enbun (延文), also transcribed Embun, was a Japanese era name (年号, nengō, lit. year name) of the Northern Court during the Era of Northern and Southern Courts after Bunna and before Kōan. This period spanned the years from March 1356 through March 1361; The emperor in Kyoto was Emperor Go-Kōgon (後光厳天皇 Go-Kōgon-tennō). Go-Kōgon's Southern Court rival in Yoshino during this time-frame was Emperor Go-Murakami (後村上天皇 Go-Murakami-tennō)

Nanboku-chō overview

  • Northern capital : Kyoto
  • Southern capital : Yoshino.
  • During the Meiji period, an Imperial decree dated March 3, 1911 established that the legitimate reigning monarchs of this period were the direct descendants of Emperor Go-Daigo through Emperor Go-Murakami, whose Southern Court (南朝 nanchō) had been established in exile in Yoshino, near Nara.

    Until the end of the Edo period, the militarily superior pretender-Emperors supported by the Ashikaga shogunate had been mistakenly incorporated in Imperial chronologies despite undisputed recognition that the Imperial Regalia were not in their possession.

    One By One

    by: Kitty Wells

    One by one, we've broke each vow we made
    It was you who lied, it was me who paid
    As sure as there's a Heaven beyond the sun
    We'll pay for our lies one by one
    My plans and hopes have tumbled down
    My castle of dreams plunged to the ground
    How can you face me after what you've done?
    You've shattered my dreams one by one
    One by one, we've broke each vow we made
    It was you who lied, it was me who paid
    As sure as there's a Heaven beyond the sun
    We'll pay for our lies one by one
    How can you go to sleep at night?
    Don't old memories make you long for daylight?
    You'll pay the price after having your fun
    You'll regret each mistake one by one
    The love I treasured, you sold for gold
    For worldly goods, you left me cold
    You're happy now but the time will come
    You're false loves will leave you one by one
    One by one, you've broke each vow we made
    It was you who lied, it was me who paid
    As sure as there's a Heaven beyond the sun
