Summary

Description
English: Genealogy of the Emperors of Japan by Hashimoto Chikanobu, Meiji period, 1878, woodblock triptych, Honolulu Museum of Art, accession 28702.

Depicted at the top of the center panel is the Emperor Jinmu (711–585 BCE) who is described as the first emperor and the great-grandson of Amaterasu. In the green robe to Jinmu’s left stands his son, Emperor Suizei (632–549 BCE), and on the other side of Jinmu appears Emperor Annei (577–511 BCE). Directly below Jinmu, in the red robe, is the fourth emperor, Itoku (553–477 BCE.

Proceeding to the right sheet, in the upper left corner appears the fifth emperor, Kōshō (506–393 BCE), and to Kōshō’s lower right stands his son Kōan (427–291 BCE). The black and gold robe is worn by the seventh emperor, Kōrei (342–c. 215 BCE), whose son Kōgen (273–158 BCE) appears in purple. The ninth emperor, Kaika (208–98 BCE), is located in the lower right corner. (The figure at the center of the right sheet is not identified.)

The genealogy continues in the left sheet of the print. Sujin (148–30 BCE), the tenth emperor, rises in the upper right, his son Suinin (69 BCE–70 CE) is to his left, and the twelve emperor, Keikō (13 BCE– 130 CE), is seated in the center of the sheet. Wearing the pink robe is Keikō’s son Seimu (84– 190 CE), the fourteenth emperor, Chūai (148–200 CE), is shown in profile. Chūai’s successor was believed to have been Empress Jingū (170–269 CE), who appears in the lower left corner.
