Retired Emperor Uda was probably one of the first examples of retired emperor exerting power, his successor Emperor Daigo being often sick.
The objective of the Emperor may have been to protect his young son against his own younger brother, who was a serious pretendent to the throne, but strongly exerting his personal power after his retirement he set up in effect the Insei system and definitively weakened the regency.
There were movements to take the authority back into the hands of Emperor at the throne, such as the Kemmu restoration by Emperor Go-Daigo, but in general a retired emperor presided as the head of the Kyoto court, with the approval of Bakufu.

 Japanese history: Muromachi Period
The emperor Go-Daigo was able to restore imperial power in Kyoto and to overthrow the Kamakura Bakufu in 1333.
However, the revival of the old imperial offices under the Kemmu restoration (1334) did not last for long because the old administration system was out of date and practice, and incompetent officials failed gaining the support of the powerful landowners.
This was possible because of a succession dispute that had been going on between two lines of the imperial family since the death of emperor Go-Saga in 1272.

In 1331, after another scheme was unveiled by the Hojos, Emperor Go-Daigo raised up arms, and a sort of war ensued, and he, of course, lost everything.
So the most practical thing to do was the Hojos' scenario: this Emperor was against them; find another Emperor who's 100% on their side.
But the Emperor, clinging on his notion of divine power as the valid Emperor between the two that were reigning at the same time (official history of Japan agrees with him in this), would never wanted his orders being questioned, let alone challenged.

 Harvard University Press: Kenmu : Go–Daigo's Revolution by Andrew Goble
In prewar Japan, Go-Daigo was glorified as a precursor of the Meiji emperor, and unorthodox interpretations of his achievements were risky.
Andrew Goble argues that the Kenmu regime, as interpreted by the Emperor Go-Daigo, who ruled from 1318-1339, despite apparently failing, led Japan into another age.
From this perspective, the remarkable thing about Japan in the modern period, is its success, especially since 1945, in transforming the Emperor's role into that of a constitutional monarch,in a modern democratic government.
