	Emperor Shirakawa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Emperor Shirakawa (白河天皇 Shirakawa Tennō) (July 7, 1053 – July 24, 1129) was the 72nd imperial ruler of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession.
		He was the first emperor to ostensibly retire to a monastery, but in fact continue to exert considerable influence over his successor.
		Note: there's also a theory that Shirakawa was the actual father of Emperor Sutoku, officially the son of Emperor Toba, Shirakawa's grandson.

		Emperor Shirakawa (r.1072–86) continued to rule as a retired emperor after his abdication, and, after 1096, as a priestly retired emperor.
		Sutoku was exiled, and many of his supporters were executed, but this war brought no lasting peace.
		Goshirakawa, as retired emperor (1158–92), had some influence in the government, but in 1167 Kiyomori had himself appointed prime minister and gave important posts in the central and provincial governments to his clansmen.

		In 1180, Prince Mochihito, a son of Cloistered Emperor Go-Shirakawa, humiliated by the Taira because of the Taira-backed accession of the throne of his nephew, Emperor Antoku (who was half Taira himself) made a national call to arms of the Minamoto clan all over Japan to rebel against the Taira.
		Yoritomo was defeated at Ishibashiyama in his first major battle, but in the end he triumphed over his rival cousins, who sought to steal from him control of the clan, and over the Taira, who suffered a terrible defeat at the Battle of Dan-no-ura in 1185.

		In response to the Mongol hordes threatening Japan, a Buddhist temple was built on Mt. Zōzu in the 1200s that celebrated the Thirty Deities.
		Konpira priests also explored the mystical origins of the shrine, divining that Konpira was the home of not only Konpira, but the Emperor Sutoku, in order to curry favor with the Imperial house, and the head priest Yusei, who had turned into a tengu.
