Emperor Kameyama was an emperor of the Kamakura period, reigning from 1259 to 1274.
As Retired Emperor, in 1291, Kameyama established the Buddhist temple Nanzen-ji on the grounds of one of his Kyoto villas.
His villa in the Arashiyama area of Kyoto was transformed in the 14th century into the Buddhist temple Tenryû-ji. He is buried there alongside Emperor Go-Saga (r. 1242-1246).
Alternation in the imperial succession between the lineages of his descendants, and those of his elder brother Emperor Go-Fukakusa, developed in the 14th century into the Nanbokuchô Period of Northern and Southern Courts - multiple emperors at once with competing claims to the throne.
