Life

Tanehito was named Crown Prince of Japan in 1289 . After Fushimi's abdication in 1298, he assumed the Japanese emperor. The military power lay with the shogunate and the Hōjō family , who decided behind the scenes on the imperial hierarchy. Go-Fushimi abdicated as early as 1301, because the Daikakuji line ( Daikakuji-to , 大 覚 寺 統 ) of the imperial family carried out a successful coup against him.

His successor in office was Go-Nijō -tennō, a son of Go-Uda -tennō. Both belonged to the Daikakuji line, which descended from the Kameyama -tennō.

Even after his dethronement, he was involved in government affairs as a resigned Tennō.

Go-Fushimi was the author of a famous prayer to the god of the Kamo shrine . In this prayer he called this god to help his son ascend the Japanese imperial throne.

He was the father of Kōmyō- tennō and Kōgon -tennō, the ruling Gegenennō from the Ashikaga clan in the early 14th century , who had their seat of government in Kyoto .
