เกี่ยวกับ
Emperor Kanmu (桓武天皇, 737–806) was the fiftieth emperor, famous for moving the imperial capital first to Nagaokakyō and then to Heiankyō (present-day Kyoto) in 794—a decision that set the stage for over a millennium of Kyoto's cultural dominance. His reign was marked by military campaigns against the Emishi people of northeastern Japan, led by generals Sakanoue no Tamuramaro, and administrative reforms strengthening central power.
He is enshrined at Heian Jingu in Kyoto, built in 1895 to mark the 1100th anniversary of the Heiankyō capital establishment. Heian Jingu also co-enshrines Emperor Komei, the last emperor before the Meiji Restoration.
