EMPEROR ROKUJō
(Redirected from Emperor Rokujo)
'Emperor Rokujō' (六条天皇 ''Rokujō-tennō'') (December 28, 1164 – August 23, 1176) was the '79th' emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession. He ruled from August 3, 1165 to March 30, 1168.
He was the son of Emperor Nijō. He left no children.
He was made Crown Prince before his first birthday, and was enthroned at the age of one. He was later pressured by the Taira clan to abdicate in favor of his uncle (who was, in fact, about three years older than him), Emperor Takakura.
★ '''Nin'an 3''', in the 2nd month (1168): Rokujō was deposed at age 5, and he received the title "Taïzio-ten-o" and the name "Sin-in".[1]
Rokujō died at the age of eleven. Because of his youth, he had neither consorts nor children. Government affairs were run by his grandfather, Retired Emperor Go-Shirakawa as cloistered emperor.
''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 Rokujō's reign, this apex of the ''Daijō-kan'' included:
★ ''Sesshō'', Konoe Motozane, 1143-1166.[2]
★ ''Sesshō'', Matsu Motofusa, 1144-1230.[3]
★ ''Daijō-daijin'', Fujiwara Koremichi 1093-1165.[3]
★ ''Daijō-daijin'', Taira Kiyomori, 1118-1181.[3]
★ ''Sadaijin'', Matsu Motofusa.[3]
★ ''Sadaijin'', Ōimikado Tsunemune, 1119-1189.[7]
★ ''Udaijin'', Kujō Kanezane, 1149-1207.[7]
★ ''Nadaijin'', Fujiwara Tadamasa.[7]
The years of Rokujō's reign are more specifically identified by more than one era name or ''nengō''.
