Imperial Princesses III

[Emperor Seiwa] Five Daughters

¶(No text. The source merely repeats this heading; there is no independent entry.)

[Emperor Yōzei] Two Daughters

¶Imperial Princess Mōshi was a daughter born of a court lady of the Fujiwara clan (Note: the Nihon Kiryaku writes her name as "Yoshiko," which is mistaken). In the fifteenth year of Jōgan (873), together with her younger sisters Hōshi and Tonshi, she became an Imperial Princess. In the second year of Genkei (878) she was granted 100 chō of waste fields in Hazu district, Mikawa province, to serve as her personal land (Note: following the Sandai Jitsuroku). In the sixth month of the first year of Engi (901) she died (Note: following the Nihon Kiryaku and the Ichidai Yōki).

[Emperor Kōkō] Twenty-six Daughters

¶Imperial Princess Hōshi was a daughter born of the Kōi, Junior Consort, of the Ariwara clan (Note: following the Sandai Jitsuroku). In the fourth month of the first year of Kanpyō (889) she died (Note: following the Ichidai Yōki).

[Emperor Uda] Nine Daughters

¶Imperial Princess Tonshi was a daughter born of the Empress of the Fujiwara clan. In the first year of Genkei (877) she became the Saiin, High Priestess of Kamo. In the fourth year (880) she entered the Murasakino-in (Note: following the Sandai Jitsuroku. It may be observed that in the twelfth month of this year Emperor Seiwa died, and presumably she left her office on that account, but since none of the books record the year and month, it is not recorded here). In the first month of the eighth year of Enchō (930) she died (Note: following the Nihon Kiryaku and the Saiin-ki).

[Emperor Daigo] Eighteen Daughters

¶Imperial Princess Shikishi was a daughter born of the Kōi, Junior Consort, of the Fujiwara clan. In the eighteenth year of Jōgan (876), at the age of three, she became an Imperial Princess. In the first year of Genkei (877) she became the Saigū, High Priestess of Ise, and in the third year (879) she proceeded to Ise (Note: following the Sandai Jitsuroku). In the fourth year (880) she relinquished her post (Note: following the Ichidai Yōki. It may be observed that the Sandai Jitsuroku records, under the fifth year of Genkei, that "the former Ise Imperial Princess returned to the capital," which appears to be the same circumstance as Imperial Princess Tonshi's retirement in the fourth year of Genkei. Relying on the Ichidai Yōki, her retirement is therefore placed in the fourth year). In the twelfth month of the sixth year of Engi (906) she died (Note: following the Nihon Kiryaku. It may be observed that the Ichidai Yōki gives the first month of the ninth year of Enchō, which is mistaken). She was thirty-three years old (Note: the Nihon Kiryaku does not record her age, so it is inferred from the entry for the third month of the tenth year of Jōgan in the Sandai Jitsuroku). At the Ganka, the New Year court assembly, of the following year, the emperor did not appear at the Nanden, the Southern Hall (Note: following the Nihon Kiryaku).

[Emperor Suzaku] One Daughter

¶Minamoto-no-Saishi was a daughter born of a court lady of the Kamo clan. In the fifteenth year of Jōgan (873) she was granted the surname Minamoto-no-Ason and was registered in the Left Capital (Note: following the Sandai Jitsuroku).

[Emperor Murakami] Ten Daughters

¶(No text. The source merely records here the single phrase "[Emperor Yōzei] Two Daughters," and there is no independent entry.)

[Emperor Reizei] Three Daughters

¶Imperial Princess Chōshi was a daughter born of the court lady Princess Shishi (Note: following the Sonpi Bunmyaku and the Teiō Hennenki). In the eleventh month of the twenty-second year of Engi (922) she died (Note: following the Nihon Kiryaku).

[Emperor Ichijō] Two Daughters

¶Imperial Princess Genshi was a younger sister of Imperial Princess Chōshi by the same mother (Note: following the Teiō Hennenki, the Kōin Shōunroku, and the Sonpi Bunmyaku). In the third month of the eighth year of Enchō (930) she died (Note: following the Nihon Kiryaku, the Fusō Ryakki, and the Jōkei Kojitsu).

[Emperor Sanjō] Six Daughters

¶(No text. The source merely records here the single phrase "[Emperor Kōkō] Twenty-six Daughters," and there is no independent entry.)

[Emperor Go-Ichijō] Two Daughters

¶Imperial Princess Chūshi was a daughter born of the Tōin Empress (Note: following the Kōin Shōunroku). She was granted Junior Fourth Rank Lower, and in the eighth year of Genkei (884) she was advanced to Junior Third Rank. At this time, together with Kanshi, Suishi, Ishi, Chishi, Kanshi, Reishi, Kishi, Sūshi, Renshi, Reishi, Saishi, Kaishi, Mokushi, Zeshi, Heishi, Kenshi, Shinshi, Shūshi, and Misshi, she was granted the surname Minamoto-no-Ason and was attached to the Left Capital (Note: following the Sandai Jitsuroku. It may be observed that the order of the sisters by age is not consistent among the various books; here the Kōin Shōunroku is followed). In the third year of Kanpyō (891) she became an Imperial Princess (Note: following the Ichidai Yōki). In the fifth month of the fourth year of Engi (904) she died (Note: following the Nihon Kiryaku and the Ichidai Yōki. It may be observed that the Kōin Shōunroku and the Sonpi Bunmyaku call her a consort of Emperor Seiwa, but the Nihon Kiryaku records that on the seventh day of the fifth month Imperial Princess Chūshi (忠子) died and on the twelfth day the former consort Princess Chūshi (中子) passed away, so the two are clearly different persons).

[Emperor Go-Suzaku] Five Daughters

¶Imperial Princess Kanshi was a younger sister of Imperial Princess Chūshi by the same mother. She entered the rear palace of Emperor Yōzei and was styled the Tsuridono-no-Miya (Note: the Kōin Shōunroku and the Teiō Hennenki assign the name Tsuridono-no-Miya to Kanshi (緩子), but which is correct is not known). In the third year of Kanpyō (891) she became an Imperial Princess (Note: following the Ichidai Yōki). In the fourth month of the fourteenth year of Engi (914) she died (Note: following the Saikyūki, the Nihon Kiryaku, the Fusō Ryakki, and the Ichidai Yōki).

[Emperor Go-Sanjō] Four Daughters

¶Imperial Princess Suishi was a younger sister of Imperial Princess Chūshi by the same mother. She entered the rear palace of Emperor Yōzei (Note: following the Ichidai Yōki and the Kōin Shōunroku). In the third year of Kanpyō (891) she became an Imperial Princess (Note: following the Ichidai Yōki) and was granted Third Rank (Note: following the Nihon Kiryaku; the year and month cannot be determined). In the third month of the third year of Enchō (925) she shaved her head, and in the fourth month she died (Note: following the Nihon Kiryaku).

¶Imperial Princess Hanshi had lost her mother (her birth mother is unknown). In the eighth year of Genkei (884) she became the Saigū, High Priestess of Ise, and together with Bokushi she became an Imperial Princess (Note: following the Sandai Jitsuroku). She was granted Third Rank (Note: following the Nihon Kiryaku; the year and month cannot be determined). In the second year of Ninna (886) she proceeded to Ise, and in the third year (887) she relinquished her post (Note: following the Ichidai Yōki and the Saigū-ki). In the fifth month of the sixteenth year of Engi (916) she died (Note: following the Nihon Kiryaku and the Ichidai Yōki).

¶Imperial Princess Bokushi was a daughter born of a court lady of the Ō clan. In the sixth year of Genkei (882) she became the Saiin, High Priestess of Kamo, and in the eighth year (884) she became an Imperial Princess. In the first year of Ninna (885) she entered the Murasakino-in, and in the third year (887) she relinquished her post (Note: following the Sandai Jitsuroku and the Ichidai Yōki). In the twelfth month of the third year of Engi (903) she died (Note: following the Nihon Kiryaku and the Ichidai Yōki. It may be observed that the Saiin-ki says she later became a consort of Emperor Daigo and bore Ariake, but when the various books are examined, Imperial Prince Ariake was a child born of Washi, and no evidence is found that Bokushi became a consort of Emperor Daigo, so this is not adopted).

¶Imperial Princess Ishi was a younger sister of Imperial Princess Chūshi by the same mother. She became a consort of Emperor Daigo (Note: following the Kōin Shōunroku and the Kōin Keizu).

¶Minamoto-no-Chishi (Note: following the Sandai Jitsuroku, the Ichidai Yōki, and the Kōin Shōunroku) had lost her mother.

In the tenth month of the eighth year of Engi (908) she died (Note: following the Nihon Kiryaku and the Ichidai Yōki). She was called Shōin-no-Kimi (Note: the Kōin Shōunroku writes "Shō," pine, as "Bai," plum, but here the Nihon Kiryaku is followed).

¶Minamoto-no-Reishi (Note: following the Sandai Jitsuroku, the Ichidai Yōki, and the Kōin Shōunroku) had lost her mother.

¶Minamoto-no-Kishi had lost her mother. In the tenth month of the nineteenth year of Engi (919) she died (Note: following the Ichidai Yōki. It may be observed that the "Onshi" given in the same book is probably an error for "Kishi," repeated).

¶Minamoto-no-Sūshi had lost her mother. She was granted Junior Fourth Rank Upper (Note: following the Ichidai Yōki and the Kōin Shōunroku).

¶Minamoto-no-Renshi had lost her mother. In the second year of Ninna (886) she was granted Junior Fourth Rank Upper (Note: following the Sandai Jitsuroku). In the ninth month of the fifth year of Engi (905) she died, and on that account the emperor suspended the Kyūjitsu-no-Sechi, the Festival of the Ninth Day (Chōyō) (Note: following the Nihon Kiryaku and the Fusō Ryakki).

¶Minamoto-no-Reishi had lost her mother. She married Fujiwara-no-Tsuranaga, Iyo-no-suke, Assistant Governor of Iyo (Note: following the Ichidai Yōki and the Kōin Shōunroku; Tsuranaga's surname is taken from the Sakusha Burui). In the third month of the ninth year of Engi (909) she died (Note: following the Ichidai Yōki).

¶Minamoto-no-Zeshi had lost her mother. She was granted Junior Fourth Rank Upper (Note: following the Ichidai Yōki and the Kōin Keizu. The name follows the Sandai Jitsuroku. The Kōin Shōunroku gives Junior Fourth Rank Lower).

¶Minamoto-no-Heishi had lost her mother. She was granted Junior Fourth Rank Upper (Note: following the Ichidai Yōki and the Kōin Shōunroku). In the fifth month of the sixth year of Engi (906) she died (Note: following the Ichidai Yōki).

¶Minamoto-no-Shitsushi (Note: following the Sandai Jitsuroku and the Kōin Keizu) had lost her mother. In the third year of Ninna (887) she was granted the surname Minamoto-no-Ason (Note: following the Sandai Jitsuroku. It may be observed that the Ichidai Yōki has no name Shitsushi; instead it records that a person called "Minamoto-no-Shi" died on the twentieth day of the fifth month of the sixteenth year of Engi (916), but this name Minamoto-no-Shi is found in no other book and is probably an error. For the present there is no way to verify it).

[Emperor Uda] Nine Daughters

¶Imperial Princess Kinshi was a daughter born of the Empress Dowager (Kōtaifujin) of the Fujiwara clan (Note: following the Ichidai Yōki and the Kōin Keizu). She married her half-brother Imperial Prince Atsuyoshi (Note: following the Sonpi Bunmyaku and the Ichidai Yōki). In the second month of the tenth year of Engi (910) she died (Note: following the Nihon Kiryaku and the Ichidai Yōki). She was twenty-one years old (Note: following the Nihon Kiryaku. It may be observed that the Ichidai Yōki makes Jūshi the first daughter and Kinshi the second, while the Rekidai Kōki makes her the third. The Nihon Kiryaku calls only Jūshi the second daughter and Ishi the seventh daughter and lists no other princesses, so there is no means of establishing the order of the sisters by age. Here, provisionally, the order of listing in the Kōin Shōunroku is followed. That book also shows princesses called Wakako and Omiko, but they are not recorded in other books. The Rekidai Kōki fixes the number of Emperor Uda's daughters at nine, and that number is followed here).

¶Minamoto-no-Kishi had lost her mother. She was granted the surname Minamoto-no-Ason and married the Kampaku, Regent, Tadahira (Note: following the Ichidai Yōki and the Kōin Shōunroku).

In the eighth year of Engi (908) she became an Imperial Princess (Note: following the Ichidai Yōki). In the tenth month of the fourth year of Tengen (981) she died (Note: following the Nihon Kiryaku and the Ichidai Yōki. It may be observed that the Ichidai Yōki makes Ikushi four years old and Enshi five years old in the eighth year of Engi, whereas the Nihon Kiryaku makes Ikushi the sixth daughter and Enshi the seventh, so the true order by age is unclear. Here, provisionally, the order of listing in the Kōin Shōunroku is followed).

¶Imperial Princess Enshi was a younger sister of Imperial Princess Kyōshi by the same mother (Note: following the Kōin Shōunroku, the Saiin-ki, and the entry for the fourth year of Chōgen in the Sakeiki).

In the seventh month of the first year of Tenryaku (947) she died (Note: following the Saikyūki and the Nihon Kiryaku). She was thirty-nine years old (Note: according to the entry in the Ichidai Yōki that she was two years old in the tenth year of Engi. This work gives thirty, which is probably a case of the character for "nine" having dropped out. The Nihon Kiryaku gives forty-eight, which is mistaken).

¶Imperial Princess Seishi was a younger sister of Imperial Princess Senshi by the same mother (Note: following the Kōin Keizu). In the eighth year of Enchō (930) she became an Imperial Princess (Note: following the Nihon Kiryaku and the Ichidai Yōki).

In the first year of Enchō (923) she became an Imperial Princess (Note: following the Ichidai Yōki). In the sixth year of Jōhei (936) she became the Saigū, High Priestess of Ise (Note: following the Nihon Kiryaku and the Saigū-ki; this work does not record the year and month, so on the basis of the surrounding entries she is provisionally placed here).

It is corrected here on the basis of this work's statement that she became an Imperial Princess at the age of ten in the eighth year of Enchō and died at the age of twenty-six, and of the entry quoted in the Saikyūki from the Teishinkōki for the ninth year of Tenkyō stating that the Saigū had died).
