Emperor Go-Ichijō (後一条天皇
Go-Ichijō-tennō) (October 12, 1008 – May 15, 1036) was the
68th emperor of Japan, according to the traditional
order of succession. His reign spanned the years from 1016 through
1036.[1]
This 11th century sovereign was named after Emperor
Ichijō and go- (後), translates literally as "later;"
and thus, he is sometimes called the "Later Emperor Ichijō". The
Japanese word "go" has also been translated to mean the
"second one;" and in some older sources, this emperor may be
identified as "Ichijō, the second."
Genealogy
Before his ascension to the Chrysanthemum Throne, his personal
name (his imina)[2] was
Atsuhira-shinnō (敦成親王).[3] He was
also known as Atsunari-shinnō.[4]
Atsuhira was the second son of Emperor Ichijō. His mother, Fujiwara no
Akiko/Shōshi (藤原彰子) (988-1074), was a daughter of Fujiwara no Michinaga. In her
later years, Ichijō's chūgo consort was known as Jōtō-mon
In (上東門院).[5]

Kugyō
Kugyō (公卿) is a collective term for the very few most
powerful men attached to the court of the Emperor of
Japan in pre-Meiji eras. Even during those years in
which the court's actual influence outside the palace walls was
minimal, the hierarchic organization persisted.
In general, this elite group included only three to four men at
a time. These were hereditary courtiers whose experience and
background would have brought them to the pinnacle of a life's
career. During Go-Ichijō's reign, this apex of the Daijō-kan
included:
- Sesshō, Fujiwara
Michinaga, 966-1027.[12]
- Sesshō, Fujiwara
Yorimichi, 992-1074.[13]
- Kampaku, Fujiwara Yorimichi.[13]
- Daijō-daijin, Fujiwara Michinaga.[12]
- Daijō-daijin, Kan'in Kinsue,
956-1029.[13]
- Sadaijin,
Fujiwara Michinaga.[12]
- Sadaijin,
Fujiwara Akimitsu, 944-1021.[13]
- Sadaijin,
Fujiwara Yorimichi.[13]
- Udaijin,
Fujiwara Sanesuke, 957-1046.[13]
- Nadaijin, Fujiwara Norimichi,
997-1075.[13]
- Dainagon
