Emperor Go-Uda of Japan Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Emperor Go-Uda (後宇多天皇) (1267-1324) was the 91st imperial ruler of Japan, reigning from 1274 until his abdication in 1287. Although he was succeeded by his first cousin, Emperor Fushimi, two of Go-Uda's sons would later occupy the throne. The younger of these sons, Emperor Go-Daigo, staged the Kemmu restoration, briefly seizing power away from the shoguns. The resulting conflict led to a protracted struggle over the throne between two factions. Go-Uda's lineage, known as the Daikakuji-tō (大覚寺統), formed the southern court, while Fushimi's lineage, known as Jimyōin-tō (持明院統), formed the northern court. The latter, with backing of the Ashikaga shoguns, was eventually victorious.
