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

Fushimi was an emperor of the [[Daikakuji and Jimyoin lines|Jimyôin line]] of imperial succession, which alternated for a time with the Daikakuji line descended from [[Emperor Kameyama]]. The division later developed into the Northern and Southern Courts of the [[Nanbokucho Period|Nanbokuchô Period]], which competed in claims to the throne.

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 Jimyoin lines|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 [[Nanbokucho Period|Nanbokuchô period]], when two emperors simultaneously staked competing claims of legitimacy.
