Emperor Seiwa (清和天皇) (850-881) was the 56th imperial ruler of Japan. He ascended the throne at the age of eight, in 858, and ruled until 876, when he abdicated in favor of his son, Yozei. Yozei was deposed seven years later by Seiwa's uncle, Kōkō. Although none of Seiwa's heirs would ever again become emperor, he was the ancestor of the influential Seiwa Genji clan, which established both the Kamakura and Ashikaga shogunates.
