Emperor Sutoku reigned from 1123 to 1142 during the Heian period in Japan. His reign saw significant political strife, including conflicts between the imperial court and the rising power of the samurai class. After his abdication, he spent much of his life in exile, contributing to the rich literary traditions of the time. Sutoku's time as emperor coincided with the increasing factionalism at the court, which ultimately led to the rise of the Yoshida clan.
