Emperor Fushimi

Emperor Fushimi (1265–1317), the 92nd emperor of Japan, was a son of Emperor Go-Fukakusa and head of the Jimyōin-tō line. He became crown prince ahead of the Daikakuji-tō and in 1287 succeeded his cousin Emperor Go-Uda, taking direct charge after Go-Fukakusa withdrew in 1290.

Naming his own son heir in 1289 deepened the rival line's hostility. He abdicated in 1298 to rule as cloistered emperor, and in 1308 the shogunate backed his fourth son's enthronement as Emperor Hanazono. He took Buddhist vows in 1313 and died in 1317.
