Life

After his mother died when he was at seven, his maternal grandfather Fujiwara no Kaneie raised him at Kaneie's mansion. Kaneie loved him very much and Okisada grew to a young talented prince with dignity. When the emperor Ichijō, another grandson of Kaneie ascended to the throne, Okisada was appointed as heir and crown prince in his teenage. This followed the convention that two imperial lineages took the throne in turn, although Ichijō was in fact his junior. He thus gained the nickname Sakasa no moke no kimi (the imperial heir in reverse). Emperor Ichijō (一条天皇) (980-1011) was the 66th imperial ruler of Japan. ... For other uses, see inheritance (disambiguation). ... A Crown Prince or Crown Princess is the heir or heiress apparent to the throne in a royal or imperial monarchy. ... A nickname is a short, clever, cute, derogatory, or otherwise substitute name for a person or things real name (for example, Nick is short for Nicholas). ...

Kaneie died in the early of Ichijō's reign and Okisada lost his political backbone. His three uncles, sons of Kaneie, made their daughters consorts of Ichijo and aimed to seize power as the grandfather of the future emperor. These courtiers therefore sought to exclude Okisada from the Imperial succession, though each of them married their daughter to him. Later Ichijō had children by Fujiwara no Kishi, the daughter of Fujiwara no Michinaga, and Michinaga expected his grandson to ascend to the throne as soon as possible. Michinaga became the Kampaku regent of Japan during the reign of Ichijō and expected to hold this position in Sanjō's government too, but Sanjō as an matured man in his thirties desired strongly to governm without such influence. The relation between Sanjo and Michinaga was bad and it became worse when one of Sanjō's spouses who was a daughter of Michinaga died without a child. Most of courtiers feared Michinaga and avoided the imperial court. Sanjō became isolated in his own court. Fujiwara no Michinaga (藤原 道長, 966-1028) represents the highpoint of the Fujiwara regents control over the government of Japan. ...

Sanjō, going blind, came under pressure from Michinaga to abdicate. Finally he relented and abdicated in 1016. His eldest son, Prince Atsuakira, became the crown prince but later he abandoned this position because of the pressure from Michinaga. Michinaga gifted Atsuakira a status equal to the retired emperor, with the title of Koichijo-in and Nariakira married a daughter of Michinaga.
