EspañolEMPEROR NIJō
(Redirected from Emperor Nijo)
'Emperor Nijō' (二条天皇 ''Nijō-tennō'') (July 31, 1143 – September 5, 1165) was the '78th' emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession. He reigned from September 5, 1158 to August 3, 1165. His personal name was Morihito (守仁).
He was the eldest son of Emperor Go-Shirakawa. He was the father of Emperor Rokujō.
★ Fujiwara Masuko (1140-1201): wife of Emperor Nijo (and earlier, she had also been the wife of Emperor Konoe). Later, she was called Grand Empress Dowager Omiya.[1]
Nijō was proclaimed as heir to Emperor Go-Shirakawa; and when Go-Shirakawa abdicated in the 8th month of the 3rd year of ''Hōgen'', Nijō was proclaimed emperor. Nevertheless, the management of all affairs continued to rest entirely in the hands of the retired emperor, Go-Shirakawa.[2]
''Kugyō'' (公卿) is a collective term for the very few most powerful men attached to the court of the Emperor of Japan in pre-Meiji eras.
In general, this elite group included only three to four men at a time. These were hereditary courtiers whose experience and background would have brought them to the pinnacle of a life's career. During Nijō's reign, this apex of the ''Daijō-kan'' included:
★ ''Kampaku'', Konoe Motozane, 1143-1166.[3]
★ ''Sadaijin'', Konoe Motozane.[4]
The years of Nijō's reign are more specifically identified by more than one era name or ''nengō''.
★ ''Hōgen '' (1156-1159)
★ ''Heiji'' (1159-1160)
★ ''Eiryaku'' (1160-1161)
★ ''Ōhō'' (1161-1163)
★ ''Chōkan'' (1163-1165)
