EMPEROR HANAZONO
'Emperor Hanazono' (花園天皇 ''Hanazono-tennÅ'') (August 14, 1297 - December 2, 1348) was the '95th' emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession. He reigned from December 28, 1308 until March 29, 1318. His personal name was Tomihito (富ä»).
He was the fourth son of the 92nd Emperor Emperor Fushimi. He belonged to the JimyÅin-tÅ branch of the Imperial Family.
In 1308, he became emperor upon the abdication of his second cousin, the Daikakuji-tÅ Emperor Go-NijÅ
During Hanazono's reign, negotiations between the Bakufu and the two imperial lines resulted in an agreement to alternate the throne between the two lines every 10 years (the BumpÅ Agreement). This agreement did not last long, being broken by his successor Emperor Go-Daigo.
In 1318, he abdicated to his second cousin, the Daikakuji-tÅ Emperor Go-Daigo (brother of Go-NijÅ)
His father the retired Emperor Fushimi and his brother the retired Emperor Go-Fushimi both exerted influence as cloistered emperors during his reign.
After his abdication, he raised his nephew, the future Northern Pretender Emperor KÅgon. In 1335, he became a Buddhist monk of the Zen sect.
He died in 1348.
He excelled at tanka, and was an important member of the KyÅgoku School. He also left behind a diary, called Hanazono-in-Minki (Imperial Chronicles of the Flower Garden Temple [Hanazono-in]) (花園院宸記). He was a very religious and literate person, never failing to miss his prayers to the Amitabha Buddha.
The years of Hanazono's reign are more specifically identified by more than one era name or ''nengÅ''.
