Tōhito (Japanese: 遐仁; 14 April 1741 – 31 August 1762), posthumously honored as Emperor Momozono (桃園天皇, Momozono-tennō), was the 116th emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession. Momozono's reign spanned the years from 1747 until his death in 1762. Momozono's reign was mostly quiet, with only one incident occurring that involved a small number of Kuge who advocated for the restoration of direct Imperial rule. These Kuge were punished by the shōgun, who held de facto power in the country.
