(Redirected from Emperor Sakuramachi of Japan)
'Emperor Sakuramachi' (桜町天皇 ''Sakuramachi-tennÅ'') (February 8, 1720 – May 28, 1750) was the '115th' emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession. He reigned from April 13, 1735 to June 9, 1747. His personal name was Teruhito (æ˜ä») and his pre-accession title was ''Waka-no-miya'' (若宮).
He was the firstborn son of Emperor Nakamikado. He had three children by two women:
★ Court lady NijÅ Ieko (二æ¡èˆŽå)
★
★ First daughter: Princess Sakariko (ç››å内親王)
★
★ Second daughter: Princess Toshiko (智å内親王) (Empress Go-Sakuramachi)
★ Lady-in-waiting AnekÅji Sadako (姉å°è·¯å®šå)
★
★ First son: Prince Toohito (éä»è¦ªçŽ‹) (Emperor Momozono)
In 1728, he became Crown Prince. In 1735, he became emperor upon the abdication of his father, Emperor Nakamikado. In 1747, he abdicated in favor of Emperor Momozono. In 1750, he died at the age of 30.
He was said to be the reincarnation of Prince ShÅtoku. With the support of Tokugawa Yoshimune, he worked for the restoration of Imperial rites, bringing back the DaijÅsai (大嘗ç¥, the first ceremonial rice-offering by a newly-enthroned emperor) and the ShinjÅsai (新嘗ç¥, a ceremonial rice-offering by the emperor) among others, and concentrated on restoring other courtesies. It is also said that he was a capable author of ''tanka''.
The years of Sakuramachi's reign are more specifically identified by more than one era name or ''nengÅ''.
