About this book

The man known to history as Emperor Kammu (737-806, r. 781-806) was an obscure official in his mid-thirties when the exigencies of Nara politics catapulted his almost equally obscure father, Konin (702-82, r. 770-81), onto the imperial throne in 770 and elevated Kammu himself to the position of crown prince three years later.
