was the 13th emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession.〔Imperial Household Agency (''Kunaichō''): (成務天皇 (13) ); retrieved 2013-8-28.〕〔Titsingh, Isaac. (1834). ; Brown, Delmer M. (1979). ''Gukanshō,'' p. 254; Varley, H. Paul. (1980). ''Jinnō Shōtōki,'' pp. 99–100.〕 He also known as ''Wakatarashihiko no Sumeramikoto''. His reign is conventionally dated as AD 131–191.〔Ponsonby-Fane, Richard. (1959). ''The Imperial House of Japan,'' p. 34.〕 He is credited with appointing the first provincial governors and district officials.〔Martin, Peter, ''The Chrysanthemum Throne: A History of the Emperors of Japan'', p. 23〕 ==Legendary narrative== Seimu is regarded by historians as a legendary emperor who might have been real. Little is known about him.〔Kelly, Charles F. ( "Kofun Culture," ) ''(Japanese Archaeology )''. 27 April 2009.〕 The reign of Emperor Kimmei (509?–571), the 29th emperor,〔Titsingh, (pp. 34–36 ); Brown, ( pp. 261–262; Varley, pp. 123–124 ).〕 is the first for which contemporary historiography is able to assign verifiable dates;〔Hoye, Timothy. (1999). ''Japanese Politics: Fixed and Floating Worlds,'' p. 78; excerpt, "According to legend, the first Japanese emperor was Jimmu. Along with the next 13 emperors, Jimmu is not considered an actual, historical figure. Historically verifiable Emperors of Japan date from the early sixth century with Kimmei.〕 however, the conventionally accepted names and dates of the early emperors were not to be confirmed as "traditional" until the reign of Emperor Kammu (737–806), the 50th sovereign of the Yamato dynasty.〔Aston, William. (1896). ''Nihongi,'' pp. 109.〕 The name Seimu Tennō was assigned to him posthumously by later generations.〔Brinkley, Frank. (1915). ; excerpt, "Posthumous names for the earthly ''Mikados'' were invented in the reign of Emperor Kammu (782–805), i.e., after the date of the compilation of the ''Records'' and the ''Chronicles.''〕 If Seimu did exist, there is no evidence to suggest that the title ''tennō'' was used during the time period to which his reign has been assigned. It is much more likely that he was a chieftain, or local clan leader, and the polity he ruled would have only encompassed a small portion of modern-day Japan.〔Aston, William George. (1998). ''Nihongi,'' Vol. 1, pp. 214–216.〕 His father was Emperor Keikō and his mother was Yasaka no Iri Bime no Mikoto, a granddaughter of Emperor Sujin and a first cousin of his father. The actual site of Seimu's grave is not known.〔 This emperor is traditionally venerated at a memorial Shinto shrine (''misasagi'') at Nara. The Imperial Household Agency designates this location as Seimu's mausoleum. It is formally named ''Saki no Tatanami no misasagi''.〔Ponsonby-Fane, Richard. (1953). ''Studies in Shinto and Shrines,'' p. 419.〕 Seimu's tomb can be visited today at Misasagi-cho, Nara City.〔(Seimu's ''misasagi'' – map (lower right) )〕 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 Seimu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
