Genealogy He was the fifth son of Emperor Higashiyama. He had at least 16 children: Life In 1708, he became Crown Prince. In 1709, upon the abdication of Emperor Higashiyama, he became Emperor. Because of his youth, first his father, the retired Emperor Higashiyama, and then his grandfather, the retired Emperor Reigen ruled in his name. His reign corresponded to the period from the sixth shōgun, Tokugawa Ienobu, to the eighth shōgun, Tokugawa Yoshimune. During this period, relations with the Bakufu were fairly good. Talk of a marriage between Imperial Princess ??-no-miya Yoshiko (八十宮吉子内親王), daughter of Retired Emperor Reigen and the seventh shōgun, Tokugawa Ietsugu were halted by the latter's sudden death. He abdicated in favor of Emperor Sakuramachi in 1735. In 1737, he died. Japanese era names| Eras of his reign | ||||||||
