Fukakusa kita no misasagi in Fushimi, the mausoleum of twelve emperors including Emperor Fushimi
  • Reign: 1288-1298
  • Japanese: 伏見天皇 (Fushimi tennou)

Emperor Fushimi was an emperor of the Kamakura period, reigning from 1288 to 1298.

Fushimi took the throne after the Kamakura shogunate pressured Emperor Go-Uda to abdicate in his favor, and to allow himself to be succeeded not by one of his own sons, but by a cousin - Fushimi. This marked the beginning of a practice of alternating the succession between members of the so-called Daikakuji and Jimyôin lines of imperial succession - that is, those descended from Fushimi's father Emperor Go-Fukakusa, and those descended from Go-Uda's father (Go-Fukakusa's younger brother), Emperor Kameyama. This division later developed into the circumstance of the Northern and Southern Courts of the Nanbokuchô period, when two emperors simultaneously staked competing claims of legitimacy.
