About Emperor Ninkō

  • Emperor Ninko (????, Ninko-tenno, 16 March 1800 – 21 February 1846) was the 120th Emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession.
  • Ninko's reign spanned the years from 1817 until his death in 1846, and saw further deterioration of the ruling Shogun's power.
  • Disasters which included famine, combined with corruption and increasing Western interference helped to erode public trust in the bakufu government.
  • Emperor Ninko attempted to revive certain court rituals and practices upon the wishes of his father.
  • However, it is unknown what role, if any, the Emperor had in the turmoil which occurred during his reign.
  • His family included fifteen children from various concubines, but only three of them lived to adulthood.
  • His fourth son, Imperial Prince Osahito became the next Emperor upon his death in 1846.
  • While political power at the time still resided with the Shogun, the beginnings of the Bakumatsu (end of military government) were at hand.
