Abdication - Jōi

Japanese: 譲位 - じょうい
Abdication - Jōi
Abdication of the throne while the emperor is alive. Also called abdication. In the past, the succession to the throne took place when the emperor died, but after Empress Kogyoku abdicated to Emperor Kotoku in 645, abdication became the custom. In the Heian period, the abdication ceremony and the enthronement ceremony were separated. With the establishment of the Imperial House Law in 1889, succession to the throne came to be limited to when the emperor died. → Enthronement

Japanese:
天皇在世中に位を譲ること。譲国とも。古くは皇位継承は天皇が没すると行われていたが,645年皇極(こうぎょく)天皇が孝徳天皇に皇位を譲って以降,譲位が慣例となっていった。平安時代になると,譲位儀式と即位儀式が分離する。1889年の皇室典範の制定により,皇位継承は天皇が没した時に限られるようになった。→践祚
