EspañolEMPEROR KōKō
(Redirected from Emperor Koko)
'Emperor Kōkō' (光孝天皇 ''Kōkō-tennō'') (830-887) was the '58th' emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession. He reigned from 884 to 887.[1]
Kōkō was the second son of Emperor Nimmyō. His mother was Fuijwara no Sawako.[2]
Prior to his accession to the Chrysanthemum Throne, his personal name Tokiyasu. He is also known as the Komatsu emperor.[3]
The first ''kampaku'' Fujiwara no Mototsune was influential in the process by Kōkō became emperor. At the time Emperor Yōzei was deposed, Prince Tokiaytsu was already Governor of Hitachi and Chief Minister of Ceremonies (''Jibu-kyō'', 治部_)[4] According to Kitabatake Chikafusa's 14th century account, Mototsune resolved the problem of succession by simply going to visit Prince Tokiaytsu, where he addressed the prince as a sovereign and assigned imperial guards. The prince signaled his acceptance by going into the imperial palaquin, which then conducted him to the emperor's residence within the palace. Curiously, he was still wearing the robes of a prince when he decided to take this ride into an entirely unanticipated future.[5]
Emperor Yōzei was succeeded by Emperor Kōkō in 884 when he was 54. He received the succession (''senso'') in the same year in which he formally acceded to the throne (''sokui'').[6] The era name was changed accordingly in 885.[5]
During his reign, Kōkō revived many ancient court rituals and ceremonies, and one example is the imperial hawking excursion to Serikawa, which had been initiated in 796 by Emperor Kammu. This ritual event was revived by Kōkō after a lapse of 50 years.[5]
★ '''Ninna 2''', on the 14th day of the 12th month (866): Kōkō traveled to Seri-gawa to hunt with falcons. He very much enjoyed this kind of hunting, and he often took time for this kind of activity.[9]
Kōkō reigned for three years and died at the age of 57.[10]
The abdicated Emperor Kōkō was succeeded by his son, Emperor Uda.
''Kugyō'' (公卿) is a collective term for the very few most powerful men attached to the court of the Emperor of Japan in pre-Meiji eras.-- ''kugyō'' of Kōkō-tennō (in French)
In general, this elite group included only three to four men at a time. These were hereditary courtiers whose experience and background would have brought them to the pinnacle of a life's career. During Kōkō's reign, this apex of the ''Daijō-kan'' included:
★ ''Kampaku'', Shōsen Motosune, formerly Fujiwara no Mototsune (藤原基経), 836-891.[11]

★ ''Sadaijin'', Minamoto no Tooru (源融).
★ ''Udaijin'', Minamoto no Masaru (源多).
