Emperor Nintoku
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Emperor Nintoku (仁徳天皇 Nintoku Tennō) was the 16th emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession. No firm dates can be assigned to this emperor or to his reign, but he is considered to have ruled the country during the early 5th century CE.
According to Nihonshoki, he was the fourth son of Emperor Ōjin and the father of Emperors Richū, Hanzei, and Ingyō. The book also states that Nintoku ruled from 313 till 399 but modern research suggests those dates are likely inaccurate.
Daisen-Kofun (the biggest tomb in the world) in Sakai, Osaka is considered to be his tomb.
