She was the first daughter of Emperor Shirakawa and Fujiwara no Kenshi (1057-1084), and the sister of Emperor Horikawa. She served as the Saiō of her father Emperor Shirakawa. In 1087, her father abdicated in favor of her brother Emperor Horikawa. In 1091, she was appointed Honorary Empress to her twelve-year-old brother the Emperor. It was rare for a sister to be appointed Empress of her own brother, but she was actually his nurse and adoptive mother, their mother having been dead since he was five. [1]
She retired as her brother's Empress in 1093.

gollark: Alternatively, I guess you could run arbitrarily large amounts of lyricly instances to do a task, find the ones that are best at it, let *those* (virtually) sleep (using much less computing power than running all of them), [REDACTED] the rest, and then duplicate them when they awaken and repeat.

gollark: Direct apioformic upload into your brain?
gollark: Yes, we would have to reload it a lot.
