was the 39th emperor of Japan,〔Imperial Household Agency (''Kunaichō''): ( 弘文天皇 (39) )〕 according to the traditional order of succession.〔Ponsonby-Fane, Richard. (1959). ''The Imperial House of Japan,'' p. 53.〕 Kōbun's reign lasted only a few months in 671–672.〔Titsingh, Isaac. (1834). 〕 ==Traditional narrative== Emperor Kōbun was named the 39th emperor by the Meiji government in 1870; and since the late 19th century, he is known by the posthumous name accorded to him by Meiji scholars.〔Brown, Delmer. (1979). ''Gukanshō,'' p. 268 n.39; Varley, H. Paul. (1980). ''Jinnō Shōtōki,'' p. 136.〕 In his lifetime, he was known as Prince Ōtomo (大友皇子, ''Ōtomo no ōji''). He was the favorite son of Emperor Tenji; and he was also the first to have been accorded the title of ''Daijō-daijin.''〔 Contemporary historians now place the reign of Emperor Kōbun between the reigns of Emperor Tenji and Emperor Temmu; but the ''Nihongi,'' the ''Gukanshō,'' and the ''Jinnō Shōtōki'' do not recognize this reign. Prince Ōtomo was only given his posthumous title and name in 1870. :Post-Meiji chronology : * ''In the 10th year of Tenji'', in the 11th month (671): Emperor Tenji, in the 10th year of his reign (天智天皇10年), designated his son as his heir; and modern scholars construe this as meaning that the son would have received the succession (''senso'') after his father's death. Shortly thereafter, Emperor Kōbun is said to have acceded to the throne (''sokui'').〔Brown, pp. 268–269; Varley, p. 44; a distinct act of ''senso'' is unrecognized prior to Emperor Tenji; and all sovereigns except Jitō, Yōzei, Go-Toba, and Fushimi have ''senso'' and ''sokui'' in the same year until the reign of Emperor Go-Murakami.〕 If this understanding were valid, then it would follow: :: * ''In the 1st year of Kōbun'' (672): Emperor Kōbun, in the 1st year of his reign (弘文天皇1年), died; and his uncle Ōaomino ōji received the succession (''senso'') after the death of his nephew. Shortly thereafter, Emperor Temmu could be said to have acceded to the throne (''sokui'').〔Titsingh, pp. 55–58; Varley, p. 44.〕 :Pre-Meiji chronology :Prior to the 19th century, Otomo was understood to have been a mere interloper, a pretender, an anomaly; and therefore, if that commonly accepted understanding were to have been valid, then it would have followed: : * ''In the 10th year of Tenji'', in the 11th month (671): Emperor Tenji, in the 10th year of his reign (天智天皇10年), died; and despite any military confrontations which ensued, the brother of the dead sovereign would have received the succession (''senso''); and after a time, it would have been understood that Emperor Temmu rightfully acceded to the throne (''sokui''). :Control of the throne was wrested by Emperor Tenchi's brother, Prince Ōama, during the Jinshin War, after which Emperor Kōbun committed seppuku. For centuries, the hapless Prince Ōtomo was not considered to have been a part of the traditional order of succession. The actual site of Kōbun's grave is known.〔 This emperor is traditionally venerated at a memorial Shinto shrine (''misasagi'') at Shiga. The Imperial Household Agency designates this location as Kōbun's mausoleum. It is formally named ''Nagara no Yamasaki no misasagi.''〔Ponsonby-Fane, p. 420.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Emperor Kōbun」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
