the 8th month): Younger brother becomes Emperor Hanazono, retired emperor 17 May 1336 (Engen 1, 6th day of the 4th month): Died Fushimi acted as cloistered emperor for a period, but after a while, from 1313 to 1318, Go-Fushimi acted in that function. During Hanazono's reign, negotiations between the Kamakura shogunate and the two lines resulted in an agreement to alternate the throne between the two lines every 10 years (the Bumpō Agreement). This agreement did not last long, as it was broken by Emperor Go-Daigo. Go-Fushimi was the author of a famous plea to the god of the Kamo Shrine for help in gaining the throne for his son. This plea was ultimately successful, but it was not until thirty-three years after his abdication that Go-Fushimi's son, Emperor Kōgon became emperor. Kōgon was the first of the northern court emperors backed by the Ashikaga shogunate. Emperor Go-Fushimi is enshrined with other emperors at the imperial tomb called Fukakusa no kita no misasagi () in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto. Kugyō is a collective term for the very few most powerful men attached to the court of the Emperor of Japan in pre-Meiji eras. Even during those years in which the court's actual influence outside the palace walls was minimal, the hierarchic organization persisted. In general, this elite group included only three to four men at a time. These were hereditary courtiers whose experience and background would have brought them to the pinnacle of a life's career. During Fo-Fushimi's reign, this apex of the Daijō-kan included: Sesshō, Takatsukasa Kanetada, 1298 Sesshō, Nijō Kanemoto, 1298–1300 Kampaku, Nijō Kanemoto, 1300–1305 Sadaijin Udaijin Nadaijin DainagonEras of Go-Fushimi's reign The years of Go-Fushimi's reign are more specifically identified by more than one era name or nengō.
