Emperor Sanjo


 

Emperor Sanj? (???? Sanj? Tenn?) (February 5, 976 - June 5, 1017) was the 67th imperial ruler of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession. He ruled from 1011 to 1016. His birth name was Okisada (??).

Names

He was given the posthumous name of Sanj?-in (???) after the palace where he spent his life after abdicating. The palace, in turn, was named for the location of the palace where he lived after his abdication. After the Meiji Era, the in was dropped and replaced with tenn? (Emperor)
