Life

In 1275, by the actions of his father, the Jimy?in-t? Emperor Go-Fukakusa, he became Crown Prince to his first cousin, the Daikakuji-t? Emperor Go-Uda. In 1287, he was enthroned following his predecessor's abdication. After this, there was a short period of time in which the two lines alternated power. Two years later, the retired Emperor Go-Fukakusa ended his reign as Cloistered Emperor, Fushimi taking direct control.
