Life

In 1275, by the actions of his father, the Jimyōin-tō Emperor Go-Fukakusa, he became Crown Prince to his first cousin, the Daikakuji-tō Emperor Go-Uda. In 1287, he was enthroned following his predecessor's abdication. After this, there was a short period of time in which the two lines alternated power. Two years later, the Retired Emperor Go-Fukakusa ended his reign as Cloistered Emperor, Fushimi taking direct control.


In 1289, by making his own son (the future Emperor Go-Fushimi) Crown Prince, he increased the antagonism of the Daikakuji line.


In 1290, the family of Asawara Tameyori made an assassination attempt on the Emperor.


During his reign, efforts were made by the noble families to defeat the government, but the power of the Bakufu increased. In 1298, Fushimi abdicated and began his reign as cloistered Emperor.


But, three years later, in 1301, the Daikakuji Line rallied and forced Emperor Go-Fushimi to abdicate.


In 1308, his co-operation with the Bakufu succeeding, his fourth son's enthronement as Emperor Hanazono was realized, and he again became cloistered Emperor.


During Fushimi's reign, the alternating plan for the Daikakuji and Jimyōin lines had not yet come into being, and the two lines fought each other for the throne.


In 1317, he passed away.
