Thus Yuryaku is shown as "ordering commissioners to erect a lofty pavilion in which he assumes the Imperial dignity," and the Emperor Nintoku is represented as "ascending a lofty tower and looking far and wide" on the occasion of his celebrated sympathy with the people's poverty. The 22nd Sovereign, Seinei A.D. 480-484 " 23rd " Kenso " 485-487 " 24th " Ninken " 488-498 " 25th " Muretsu " 499-506
They killed Tamichi, a Japanese general sent against them, and they drove back his forces, who do not appear to have taken very effective measures of retaliation. In 482 we find the Yemishi rendering homage to the Emperor Kenso, a ceremony which was repeated on the accession of the Emperor Kimmei .
Towards the close of Seinei's reign we read of "a national drinking-festival which lasted five days," and when Kenso ascended the throne he "went to the park, where he held revel by the winding streams," the high officials in great numbers being his guests.
"Better be. It's a mile deep right out there." He looked down at Oliver, amused. Oliver was evidently too short for the Pacific. He spent the rest of the day poking around Waikiki and considering his visit to Kenso Nakano. The next morning, he caught a bus to the other side of the city.
Maybe he should just be a tourist and forget the whole thing. He'd gotten along without his father this long; what difference would it make to meet him now? He didn't know. That was the problem. That was why he had to look up Kenso Nakano Ken on Alewa Heights. Chances were good that Ken was his uncle. Oliver rolled the whiskey around in his glass.
He could find a bus that would get him close, no doubt, but it was early to be visiting. Should he call? No. That was too much of a commitment. He wanted to walk to the address and see how he felt when he got there, leaving open the chance for a last-minute escape. He decided to wait a day. Look up Kenso Nakano tomorrow, he told himself.
"Yes," she said. "But the buses are good. You can get out, go around the island." "I will. I'm going to try and look up family I've never met." "Where do they live?" Oliver had found a listing for Kenso Nakano in a phone book at the airport. "Alewa Heights," he said. She laughed. "Ah LEV Ah . . . That's the real Hawaii." "Look at that!"
"O plus F," Francesca said softly. "O plus F," he repeated, turning back. He looked into her eyes patient and amused, mysterious, the color of the inner heart of black walnut and knew that he was home. Eight years later, at this writing: Emma speaks schoolgirl Spanish and has a half brother named Kenso. Maria and Elena are blooming.
History alleges that, by his brother's counsels, the Emperor Kenso was induced to abandon his intention of desecrating Yuryaku's tomb, but the condition of the tomb to-day suggests that these counsels were not entirely effective. The annals of this epoch refer more than once to banquets at the palace.
The Empress dowager committed suicide, dreading lest she should be put to death for a breach of politeness committed towards Ninken during the life of his predecessor, Kenso. At a banquet in the palace she had twice neglected to kneel when presenting, first, a knife and, secondly, a cup of wine to Ninken, then Prince Imperial.
