Traditional history |
Before he became the monarch, this prince's personal name (imina) was Yamabe (山部).[4]
Prince Yamabe was the eldest son of Prince Shirakabe (later known as Emperor Kōnin).[5] According to the Shoku Nihongi (続日本紀), Yamabe's mother was a descendant of King Muryeong of Baekje.[6]
Kanmu had 16 empresses and consorts, and 32 imperial sons and daughters.[4] Among his sons were Emperor Heizei, Emperor Saga and Emperor Junna.
Events of Kanmu's life |
Before he became the monarch, he was Crown Prince for eight years.
During his reign, Kanmu tried to simplify the hierarchy and the functions of his government.
The capital of Japan was moved from Nara (Heijō-kyō) to Nagaoka (Nagaoka-kyō) in 784.[7] The capital would be moved again in 794 to Kyoto (Heian-kyō).[8]
Kanmu named Sakanoue no Tamuramaro (758-811) to lead a military expedition against the Emishi.[9]
Timeline |
737 (Tenpyō 9): Prince Yamabe was born.[4]
773 (Hōki 4): Yamabe received the title of Crown Prince.[10]
30 April 781 (Ten'ō 1, 3rd day of the 4th month): In the 11th year of Emperor Kōnin's reign, he abdicated. The succession (senso) was received by his son.[11] Soon after, Emperor Kanmu accepted the monarch's role and duties and powers (sokui).[12] This was confirmed in ceremonies.[13]
794 (Enryaku 13): When the capital was moved to Kyoto, the emperor's new home was named "Palace of Peace/Tranquility" (平安宮, Heian no Miya).[4]
17 November 794 (Enryaku 13, 21st day of the 10th month): The emperor traveled by carriage to the new capital. He moved in a grand parade.[8] This marks the beginning of the Heian period in Japanese history.
806 (Enryaku 25): Kammu died at the age of 70.[14]
After his death |
