Hōtoku

Hōtoku (宝徳^?) was a Japanese era name (年号,, nengō,^?, lit. "year name") after Bun'an and before Kyotoku. This period spanned the years from July 1449 through July 1452. The reigning emperor was Go-Hanazono-tennō (後花園天皇^?).

The first year of Hotoku began on the 28th day of the 7th month. On the 10th day, the era name would still have been Bun'an 6.

Appreciation for the waka poetry of Shōtetsu and Shinkei was noteworthy during this era.
