Other Leader of the Same Time

Emperor Montoku of Japan

Another leader at the same time in Japan would be emperor Montoku (827-858AD). He was the 55th emperor of Japan and ruled from 850 through 858. He was the eldest son of the Emperor Ninmyo and he had 29 imperial sons. The years of Montoku’s reign can be divided into 4 eras (Kasho, Ninju, Saiko, Tenan).During his reign he also had to cope with a rebellion from the Emishi (north eastern) people. Emperor Montoku lived for only 32 years but was a very important emperor who clearly passed down the blood of the family to the next generation as we can see from his 29 sons and daughters.
