*''Reign: [[1611]]-[[1629]]''
*''Japanese'': 後水尾天皇 ''(Go Mizu-no-o tennou)''
Emperor Go-Mizunoo was emperor from [[1611]] to [[1629]], and was the longest-lived emperor in historical times, except for the Shôwa Emperor.<ref>[[Marius Jansen]], ''China in the Tokugawa World'', Harvard University Press (1992), 55.</ref>
He took Tokugawa Masako, a daughter of [[Shogun]] [[Tokugawa Hidetada]] better known today by her Buddhist name [[Tofukumon-in|Tôfukumon-in]], as his primary imperial consort; they married when she was 14.
Go-Mizunoo abdicated in [[1629]] in favor of his daughter, who took the throne as [[Empress Meisho|Empress Meishô]]. In [[1634]], he received Shogun [[Tokugawa Iemitsu]] in audience at [[Nijo castle|Nijô castle]]. This was the last time a shogun would visit [[Kyoto]], or meet with an emperor, until the [[Bakumatsu period]].
He is buried at [[Sennyu-ji|Sennyû-ji]], outside Kyoto, along with a number of emperors who followed him. It is unclear whether his burial, in a relatively simple grave, without any tumulus, marks the beginning of a precedent, or whether that practice was begun with [[Emperor Go-Kogon|Emperor Go-Kôgon]] (r. [[1352]]-[[1370]]).<ref>[[Amino Yoshihiko]], "Deconstructing 'Japan'," ''East Asian History'' 3 (1992), 141.</ref>
In addition to Empress Meishô, his other children included:
*[[Prince Morizumi]], the first head priest (''zasu'') of [[Kan'ei-ji]] in [[Edo]].
*[[Shingyo|Shingyô]] (the emperor's tenth son), who took the tonsure and became head (''monshu'') of the [[Ichijo-in|Ichijô-in]].
