Tōhito , posthumously honored as Emperor Momozono , was the 116th emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession. Momozono's reign spanned the years from 1747 until his death in 1762. Momozono's reign was mostly quiet, with only one incident occurring that involved a small number of kuge who advocated for the restoration of direct imperial rule. These kuge were punished by the shōgun, who held de facto power in the country. Born: April 14, 1741 Died: August 31, 1762 In office: June 9, 1747 – August 31, 1762 Wiki link
