The end of Emperor Ichijo Learning about Japanese history from “To Shine” His life was at the mercy of Michinaga. Emperor Ichijo had a grudge against his uncle, Fujiwara no Michinaga, because he gradually grew in power and began to arbitrarily abolish the position of Emperor and Crown Prince. Let’s take a closer look at Emperor Ichijo’s final moments. Emperor Ichijo was born in 980, 3rd year of Tengen, as the first son of Emperor Enyu to Junko, the daughter of Fujiwara Kaneie. In order to have his grandson Ichijo ascend to the imperial throne, Kaneie tricked his third son Michikane and Emperor Hanayama into becoming priests. Emperor Ichijo ascended the throne at the age of seven, but when Kaneie retired due to illness, his eldest son Michitaka became regent. Michitaka prioritized his family, making his daughter Sadako the chief priest and his older brother Ishu the councillor. Eventually, excellent wives such as Sei Shonagon served Sadako, and Emperor Ichijo lived with Sadako on good terms. However, while epidemics such as smallpox and measles were rampant in the world, Michitaka, who became Kanpaku, drank heavily and neglected governance. In 995, the era name was changed from Shorei to Chotoku, but the epidemic showed no signs of slowing down at all. When Michitaka’s diabetes worsened due to drinking, he proposed to Emperor Ichijo that his eldest son, Ishu, be given private viewing instead, and the decree was issued. The proclamation was Michitaka’s “invalid period,” but Nobuyuki Takashina, the older brother of Michitaka’s legal wife Takako, tried to falsify it to read “infirmary change.” Therefore, Emperor Ichijo and his mother, Higashisanjoin Shoko, were wary of the Takashina family. Furthermore, Ishu, who had become the Minister of the Interior at a young age, became arrogant and was disliked by those around him. One day, Higashisanjoin visited Ishiyama-dera Temple, and many court nobles, including Michinaga and Michitsuna, accompanied him. However, Ishu turned back around Awataguchi because he was busy. It is said that because of this, Higashisanjoin had a bad impression of her nephew, Ishu, and disliked her. Even so, when Michitaka died, Emperor Ichijo tried to make Ishu, the older brother of his beloved Sadako, the second-in-command after Kanpaku. However, Higashisanjoin, fearing the rise of the Takashina family, persuaded Emperor Ichijo to make Michikane Kanpaku. Just 10 days after he became Kanpaku, Michikane died of an epidemic, so he was known as the “seven-day Kanpaku.” Seven other active court nobles passed away due to the epidemic, so the competition for succession was narrowed down to Ishu and Michinaga. At this time as well, Higashisanjoin stormed Emperor Ichijo’s sleeping quarters and persuaded him all through the night, allowing Michinaga to have a private viewing. Taking advantage of the fact that his younger sister Teiko was loved by Emperor Ichijo, Ishu was fatally injured when he despised Higashisanjoin Shoko, who had more absolute power than the Emperor as the mother of her country. Michinaga was appointed as Udaijin (Minister of the Right) and became head of the Fujiwara clan, so power was concentrated all at once in Michinaga. As a result, Ishu became erratic and insulted Michinaga at the camp where all the court nobles were gathered, leading to an argument between the two. Sanesuke Fujiwara writes in his “Shoyuki” that three days later, Michinaga and the servants of Takaie, Ishu’s younger brother, engaged in a brawl on Shichijo Oji Street, and Michinaga’s servant was killed. The following year, in 996, Ishu lost his composure and committed disrespect by shooting arrows at Takaie and the Cloistered Emperor Kazan, and was exiled. Sadako Chugu, who followed his father’s lead and lost his older brother Ishu, has a fit and cuts off her own hair and leaves the house. The Emperor took pity on Teiko, who was pregnant with Emperor Ichijo’s child, and brought her back to the Imperial Palace despite the opposition of those around her. Michinaga took the strong step of making her daughter, Shoko, her empress, and making her daughter, Shoko, her chief priest. As a result, the relationship between Emperor Ichijo and Michinaga gradually deteriorated. Eventually, Sadako gave birth to Imperial Prince Atsuyasu, who became Emperor Ichijo’s first son after the Imperial Princess. However, when Teiko gave birth to Emperor Ichijo’s second Imperial Princess, she suffered from massive bleeding and passed away. The kind-hearted Akiko, who became her Chugu, took in Imperial Prince Atsuyasu, who was left behind by her Sadako, and became her adoptive mother. Shoko gave birth to Imperial Prince Atsunari (later Emperor Goichijo) and Imperial Prince Atsunari (later Emperor Gosuzaku) with Emperor Ichijo. However, both Emperor Ichijo and Shoko raised her with great care in the hope that Imperial Prince Atsuyasu, a forgotten keepsake of her Teiko, would become the Crown Prince. However, Michinaga never allowed Imperial Prince Atsuyasu to become Crown Prince during Emperor Ichijo’s lifetime. For this reason, Chugu Akiko, who raised Imperial Prince Atsuyasu like her own child, rebelled against the cold-hearted methods of her father, Michinaga, and consulted Michinaga’s rival, Sanesuke Fujiwara. At this time, it was Murasaki Shikibu who interceded with Chugu Akiko and her financial resources. By the way, Emperor Ichijo was a great lover of literature, and Kanpaku Michitaka had Sadako’s wives as Sei Shonagon and others. Therefore, Michinaga followed suit and gathered talented wives such as Murasaki Shikibu and Akazomeemon under Shoko. As a result, Heian women’s literature blossomed, and “The Tale of Genji” and “The Tale of Eika” were born. Furthermore, there are records that Emperor Ichijo himself had musical talent and was a master of the flute. Although the Emperor excelled in learning, he was said to have a gentle personality, and even though the Sekkan family held great power, he showed a cooperative attitude. And because the Emperor gave opportunities to talented people without discrimination, the imperial court attracted many talented people, especially women. It is for this reason that national culture such as kana literature, Shinden-zukuri, Yamato-e paintings, and Buddhist statue carvings flourished in our country. Furthermore, it is well known that Emperor Ichijo was a great cat lover. Sanesuke Fujiwara records in his “Shoyuki” that Emperor Ichijo even performed a ritual for a cat born in the Imperial Palace. This cat was named “My Lady’s Love,” was given a nurse by her, and was even conferred a title. Furthermore, in “Makura no Soshi” written by Sei Shonagon, the following episode is described between Emperor Ichijo and his wife. The wet nurse assigned to Maifu was a woman named “Uma no Maifu.” One day, she didn’t listen to what her husband told her, so the horse’s wife got mad at her. Then she ordered a dog named Okumaru, who was also kept in the palace, to surprise her maid. Surprised by Onmaru’s barking, the servant hurriedly ran to Emperor Ichijo. It is said that Emperor Ichijo, who learned of the situation, became furious, Omaru was defeated, and Uma no Mikoto was banished. The Myobu no Go is the oldest pet in Japan that has been recorded as a specific individual with a name among the cats kept by humans. Emperor Ichijo was a cat lover, but he gradually grew disgusted with Michinaga’s forceful political methods and began to antagonize him. Emperor Ichijo, who had been sickly to begin with, finally succumbed to illness on May 22, 1011, Kanko 8. Three days later, Michinaga secretly summoned a fortune-teller to perform a fortune-telling on his abdication, thinking that he would use this illness as an opportunity to ask the Emperor to abdicate the throne. Then, Michinaga was surprised to hear that the Emperor’s life was in danger, not to mention his abdication, and he burst into tears in the second room of Seiryoden. At this time, the Emperor was lying ill in the Seiryoden Night Palace, but he watched every detail of the event from the beginning to the end. It seems that Michinaga’s crying in the next room when the Emperor was lying ill was one of his best performances. Emperor Ichijo knew that he only had a short time to live, and his condition worsened, and he was in critical condition the following month. Emperor Ichijo, who was in critical condition, passed away on June 22nd to reflect on his personal affairs. Although he briefly regained consciousness the next morning, Emperor Ichijo finally collapsed several hours later. His short life of 32 years was at the mercy of his uncle Michinaga. It is said that a Chinese poem was left in Emperor Ichijo’s box that means, “If there are bad retainers, the Emperor’s intentions will not reach everyone.” Emperor Sanjo will be enthroned anew, but Michinaga nominates Imperial Prince Atsunari, not Imperial Prince Atsuyasu, as the crown prince. It is said that even though her own son Atsunari became the Crown Prince, Chugu Akiko was furious at Michinaga’s method of leaving Atsushi aside. Emperor Sanjo was the second son of Emperor Reizei, and his mother was Kaneie’s eldest daughter Choko. Michinaga wanted his grandson, Imperial Prince Atsunari, to become emperor as soon as possible, and this deepened his feud with Emperor Sanjo.
