Timeline

  1. 1008–1010Heian-kyō · KyotoPrince Atsunari was born in 1008 to Emperor Ichijō and a daughter of Fujiwara no Michinaga. During the political struggle between Emperor Sanjō and Michinaga, Atsunari was designated crown prince, a key move in Michinaga's plan to have his grandson inherit the imperial line, laying the foundation for his smooth accession.
  2. 1011–1027Heian-kyō Dairi · KyotoIn 1011 Emperor Sanjō abdicated and Atsunari acceded, with the era name Chōwa. Court government was run by Fujiwara no Michinaga and his son Fujiwara no Yorimichi as regent and grand minister, with the emperor largely ceremonial. After Michinaga's death Yorimichi succeeded as regent, and Go-Ichijō's reign became a typical period of consolidated Hokke power.
  3. 1028–1036Heian-kyō · KyotoIn the later part of Go-Ichijō's reign Yorimichi continued as regent and court culture kept flourishing. The emperor died in 1036 at only 29, buried at Yōzei-no-misasagi. The throne passed to Prince Atsunaka (Emperor Suzaku), and sekkan politics continued into the mid-11th century.
