Until former-[[Emperor Go-Komatsu]] died in 1433, Go-Hanazono held only  a title.  Although he may have been identified as the formal head of the [[dairi|Daïri]] or the Imperial "government", the fact-of-the-matter was that any real authority in the court was wielded by his "retired" uncle.  During these years, Go-Komatsu exercised indirect powers in a  uniquely Japanese a practice known as [[cloistered rule]].  After Komatsu's death, Go-Hanazono enjoyed 30 years of direct imperial rule; and after he did step down from the [[Chrysanthemum Throne]], Go-Hanozano intended that the conventional pattern of indirect government by cloistered emperors would be resumed.
After Go-Hanazono gave up the throne, there were no further abdications until 1586 (''Tenshō 14''), when [[Emperor Ōgimachi]] gave over the reins of government to a grandson who would come to be known as [[Emperor Go-Yōzei]].  The dearth of abdications is attributable to the disturbed state of the country and to the fact that there was neither any dwelling in which an ex-emperor could live nor any excess funds in the treasury to support him.<ref>Ponsonby-Fane, Richard. (1956). ''Kyoto: The Old Capital of Japan, 794-1869'', pp. 340-341.</ref>  In this instance, the former emperor lived another seven years after he descended from the throne.  At age 52, Go-Hanazono died on January 18, 1471 (''[[Bunmei]] 3, 12th month'').<ref>Titsingh, [https://books.google.com/books?id=18oNAAAAIAAJ&pg=PP9&dq=nipon+o+dai+itsi+ran#PRA1-PA356,M1  p. 356.]</ref> -->
