Go-Nara
Emperor Go-Nara ( Japanese 後 奈良 天皇 , Go-Nara-tennō ; * January 26, 1497 ; † September 27, 1557 ) was the 105th Tennō of Japan (June 9, 1526-27 September 1557). He was the second son of Emperor Go-Kashiwabara and the father of Emperor Ōgimachi . His proper name was Tomohito ( 知 仁 ).
Due to financial problems, his coronation ceremony was not held until 1536. During his reign, Japan suffered from civil wars as the Ashikaga shoguns no longer had any authority. Under the daimyo, the Hōjō and the Mōri consolidated their power, while the Ōuchi, Hosokawa and others disappeared. When Go-Nara died, Oda Nobunaga was 24 years old, Toyotomi Hideyoshi 21 and Tokugawa Ieyasu 15. The three soon made every effort to unite Japan and restore peace in the country.
It was during the reign of Emperor Go-Nara, namely in 1542, that the first Europeans appeared in Japan and that Francisco de Xavier preached the Gospel in Japan from August 1548 to November 1551.
