Biography

During the youth of Sadami, his/her father the Kōkō emperor makes pass his sons of the statute of family members imperial to that of simple subject, with an aim of decreasing at the same time the their political influence and national expenditure. Thus, Sadami receives the Kabane of Minamoto (its descendants constitute the line Uda Genji of this clan), and thus receives the name of Minamoto No Sadami . Later, in 887, when Kōkō must designate its successor, Sadami takes again its rank of imperial prince with the support of the Kampaku (regent) Fujiwara No Mototsune, because Sadami had been adopted by a half-sister of Mototsune. After the death of his father in November of the same year, it goes up on the throne.

At the beginning of its reign, Mototsune keeps the load of kampaku , being useful as a regent. After the death of this last, Fujiwara No Tokihira and Sugawara No Michizane have the favor of Uda. On the council of this last, it removes in 894 the official embassies of Japan in China.

To escape the influence from the Fujiwara, he abdicates in 897 in favor of his oldest son of a woman Fujiwara, prince Atsuhito, who becomes then the emperor Daigo, is made religious Buddhist and withdraws himself in the temple Nina-ji, which he had made build. From there, it continues to reign as an emperor withdrawn, according to the system of the '' insei ''. It is the first in Japan to be controlled according to this system.

Uda died in 931; and it is buried among the “seven imperial tombs” with the temple of Ryoan-ji to Kyoto. The monticule which commemorates the Uda emperor is today called “O-uchi-yama”. The place of the burial of Uda would have been completely humble during the time after the emperor died. These tombs reached their state of today after the restoration of the imperial sepulchres which were ordered by the emperor Meiji.
