Let's introduce it in a little more detail.

Jimyoin line and Daikakuji line?

The 88th Emperor Sagano!

Summary

"There were five emeritus for one emperor"

If you just listen to it, you will feel a lot of intimidation.

However, in reality, instead of the young emperor, his fathers were in control as "chiten no kimi".

As his father, he wanted to enthrone his own prince and establish a "cloister rule" himself.

Then, there was a conflict between the two families, and the situation was that the emperor took turns, so the emeritus was in a bargain sale state.

It's surprising that the shogun of the Kamakura Shogunate, famous for Genji, has become a member of the Emperor's family.
