On March 29, 1368, following the death of Emperor Go-Murakami, he was enthroned in the house of the Chief Priest at the Sumiyoshi Grand Shrine in Sumiyoshi, Osaka, where the Southern Court had made its capital.

In 1926, the enthronement was officially recognized and inserted into the Imperial Line.
