Years: 671 - 671
Naka-no-Oe takes over the Japanese government and in 668 becomes Emperor Tenji (Tenchi).
Upon his death in 671, his elder brother, Prince Otomo, is placed on the imperial throne by the aristocratic Nakatomi and Soga clans, who had opposed Tenji’s attempts to centralize the government.
Otomo, on his installation as emperor, is challenged by Tenji’s son Prince Oama who, to avoid assassination by supporters of the Otomo, had escaped to a temple in the Yoshino Mountains two years earlier and become a Buddhist priest.
