Emperor Momozono 桃園天皇
(1741 – 1762)


- quote
Emperor Momozono (桃園天皇, Momozono-tennō, 14 April 1741 – 31 August 1762)
was the 116th Emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession.
Momozono's reign spanned the years from 1747 until his death in 1762.
Momozono's reign was mostly quiet, with only one incident occurring that involved a small number of Kuge
who advocated for the restoration of direct Imperial rule.
These Kuge were punished by the shōgun, who held de facto power in the country.
Momozono fathered two sons with his one and only lady in waiting, but he died at a young age in 1762.
The line of succession fell to Momozono's sister, Princess Toshiko, who became Empress Go-Sakuramachi.
Due to the young age of Momozono's sons, she also became empress regent to
the future Emperor 後桃園天皇 Go-Momozono until he became of age to rule.

Momozono Shunkyō 桃園 春興 Enjoying Spring at Momozono Park
There was a garden called Momozono with peach trees planted on the orders of the 8th shogun Yoshimune
around present day Nakano, Nakano Ward.
Initially, when the 5th shogun Tsunayoshi issued the "edict against cruelty to all living things",
they built a hut here as a refuge for dogs.
