Emperor Senka

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Emperor Senka (宜化天皇 Senka Tennō) was the 28th 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 believed to have ruled the country during the early 6th century CE.

When Emperor Ankan died, he had no offsring, so his younger brother Emperor Senka succeeded to the throne. Because he was very old at the time of his enthronement (69 years old), and his reign only lasted 3 years, not many events or achievements have been attributed to his reign.

Preceded by Emperor Ankan

Emperor of Japan 536-539 (traditional dates)

Succeeded by Emperor Kimmei
