EMPEROR NINKō
(Redirected from Emperor Ninko)
'Emperor Ninkō' (仁孝天皇 ''Ninkō-tennō'') (March 16, 1800 – February 21, 1846) was the '120th' emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession. He reigned from October 31, 1817 to February 21, 1846. His personal name was Ayahito (恵仁).
Ninkō was the sixth son of Emperor Kōkaku. He had 7 sons and 8 daughters from various concubines, but only the future Emperor Komei (Komei ''tennō''), Princess Sumiko (Sumiko ''hime'') and Princess Chikako (Chikako ''hime'') survived to adulthood.
Ninkō was named as crown prince in 1809, being adopted by his father the Emperor's wife (''chūgū''), Imperial Princess Yoshiko (?, 欣子内親王), also known as Shinkiyowa-in (?, 新清和院). Ninkō was enthroned as Emperor in 1817 after his father retired from the throne. Following his father the Retired Emperor's wishes, he attempted to revive certain court rituals and practices. For example, Ninkō and all other emperors after his father have been identified as ''tennō.''
His reign saw some deterioration of bakufu power. The bakufu encountered yet more problems during the reign of his son, Kōmei ''tennō.'' The bakufu collapsed in the beginning of the reign of his grandson, Meiji ''tennō.''
Among Ninkō's innovations was the established the ''Gakushūsho'' (the predecessor of the ''Gakushūin'' for the Court Nobility just outside of the Imperial Palace.
The years of Ninkō's reign are more specifically identified by more than one era name or ''nengō''.
