Emperor Hanzei

Emperor Hanzei

was the 18th emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession. [Titsingh, Isaac. (1834). "Annales des empereurs du japon," p. 25; Varley, Paul. (1980). "Jinnō Shōtōki," p. 112.] No firm dates can be assigned to this emperor's life or reign. Hanzei is considered to have ruled the country during the early-5th century, but there is a paucity of information about him. Scholars can only lament that, at this time, there is insufficient material available for further verification and study.

The description of Emperor Hanzei in the "Kojiki" is daunting as he is described as standing over nine feet tall and have enormous teeth all the same size. He is said to have ruled from the palace of Shibakaki at Tajihi. The country enjoyed peace and Hanzei died peacefully in his palace. [Aston, William. (1998). "Nihongi," Vol. 1, pp. 310-311.]
