Tenno Buretsu
Edit Profile
also known as
Ohatsuse-Wakasasagi-no-mikoto
Tenno Buretsu was a 25th emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession. If Emperor Keitai began a new dynasty as some historians believe, then Buretsu is the last emperor of the first recorded dynasty of Japan. Buretsu's contemporary title would not have been tennō, as most historians believe this title was not introduced until the reigns of Emperor Tenmu and Empress Jitō. Rather, it was presumably Sumeramikoto or Amenoshita.
Career
Ascended the Throne in 498. Moved the Imperial palace to Namiki-no-miya at Hatsuse, Yamato Province (Nara Prefecture).
Personality
Buretsu is described as an essentially wicked historical figure. Nihonshoki likened him to Di Xin of the Shang dynasty, but the record in Kojiki has no such indication. There are several theories on this difference. Some believe that this was to justify and praise his successor Emperor Keitai who took over under questionable circumstances. In history textbooks available before and during World War II, part of Buretsu's record was intentionally omitted.
