		The Emperor Meiji died in 1912 and the Taisho emperor took the throne and thus began the Taisho Era.
		The Emperor Saga (reigned 809 to 823) started the tradition of giving the name `Minamoto' to the sons and sometimes brothers of emperors and then casting them free, as new families, separate from the imperial court.
		Thus, the Daigo-Minamoto are descendents of the Emperor Daigo and the Uda-Minamoto are descendents of the Emperor Uda.

	The Confessions of Lady Nijo (1973)
		Her other lovers include retired emperor Kameyama (which might have been the cause of estrangement from GoFukakusa, who was embroiled in a bitter succession dispute with him at the time), and the regent Kanehira.
		GoFukakusa's pledges and devotion, although genuine enough, seems to have been marred by an unhealthy desire to arrange her love affairs, and in any case the emperor is quick to bestow his imperial attentions to many other women, even having Lady Nijô act as a go-between in at least two cases.
		There is some hint of the conflict between GoFukakusa and Kameyama, there is also a brief mention of the incident, in which the of the Rokuhara deputies of Kamakura was disposed of when found plotting against the bakufu, she even depicts the departure of the deposed shogun from Kamakura.

	GHQ Reports on Kumazawa Tenno & Nancho Restoration
		One of the extremely leftist newspapers, consistently opposed to retaining the Emperor in power, published an interview between one of its correspondents and a spokesman for the "Kumazawa Emperor," a grocer in Nagoya who claims to be the legitimate heir to the throne.
		Historical explanations seeking to justify the claim of the grocer, "Emperor Kumazawa," to the Japanese Throne as the rightful descendant of the Emperor Godaigo, were made by four speakers at a meeting on 21 April at Arago.
		In 1947 "Emperor KUMAZAWA" appealed to President Truman to depose HIROHITO and the spurious northern dynasty and have the peace conference recognize the heir to the southern dynasty as the Emperor of Japan.

	Nijo
		Born to a family with a reputation for literary ability, Nijo was raised in the Japanese imperial court where her father and grandfather held important positions.
		By the time she was 25, Nijo had four children: one by GoFukakusa, the others by two of her lovers (only one of these without GoFukakusa's knowledge and tacit consent).
		GoFukakusa, however, was convinced that I was weeping only for Ariake and that I resented his summons, and so he broke off in mid-sentence and left the room.

		While there certainly have been forcible depositions, assassinations, and revolts at times, the large number is simply a reflection of a tendency within the culture to retire from the burdens of official life after a time.
		In the case of the Tennos ("Emperors"), they often settled in monasteries, where they continued to exert influence over their successors from the privileged position of elder statesmen.
		Thus, the Shoguns assumed temporal command of the nation, leaving the Emperors to a secluded position of spiritual influence.

		Anyways, much of the court we see in the novel through lady nijo's eyes is truely fossilized as one reviewer said before, they even go so far as to try and copy musical concerts after those written about in Genji, and theres a great many allusions in the narrative to the tale of genji.
		The diary itself is extremely enjoyable to read, poigant at times, as for instance when she runs after Gofukakusa's funeral procession barefoot down the street until she loses sight of them.
		She could have moved closer to the inner imperial circles; the retired emperor publicly acknowledged her first-born as his scion.

	Medieval Narrative: Medieval Vernacular Literature in Japan
		I was tempted to acquiesce quoting the line, "If this were a world without lies," (3) except for my fear that the person who had claimed he might die of grief would consider my behavior vulgar when he learned that the evening smoke had so quickly traded off in a certain direction.
		I suppose our ride might be considered amusing, for all the way to the palace GoFukakusa pledged his affection to me as if he were a storied lover making off with his mistress, but for me the road we traveled seemed so dreary I could do nothing but weep.
		After the carriage had been drawn through the middle gate to the Corner Mansion, (6) GoFukakusa alighted and turned to Takaaki: "I brought her along because she was too unreasonable and childish to leave behind.

		Buddhism was adopted by Emperor Shomu as the religion of the imperial court, although worship of the national gods, led by Amaterasu Omikami from whom the ruling dynasty claimed descent, as a customary rite was not disavowed.
		When her successor, Emperor Konin, died in 781, the council of ministers refused to allow a woman to take the throne, thereby creating a precedent which was followed consistently in later times, except for two unimportant instances after 1600, when the throne was powerless.
		Since the first Emperor Jinmu Tenno came to power in 585BC until now, a total of 2419 years, Japan has been rules by females for a total of only 94 years, and even then it must be remembered that many historians believe the Imperial Court wielded the real power - not the Emperor OR Empress.

		When still young she became a courtesan of the ex-Emperor Gofukakusa.

		He is, says Kyokai, the present emperor, a truly a sage ruler, although some have unduly criticized him due to the occurrence of droughts and plagues under his reign.
		Thus, when Lady Nijo tells Emperor Go-Fukakusa that she has had an affair with the Ninnaji priest Ariake, he says, "None of this bodes well for the future, for events from the past teach us that passion respects neither rank nor station.
		For example, the spirit of the high priest Kakinomoto pursued Empress Somedono relentlessly, and it was beyond the power of the buddhas and bodhisattvas to prevent her from yielding to his malevolent spirit.

		The second son of Emperor GoFukakusa (reg 1246–60), he abdicated in favour of his son GoFushimi (reg 1298–1301) in 1298 and later retired to a monastery.
		He was one of the most talented calligraphers among Japanese emperors and indeed one of the outstanding calligraphers of the Kamakura period (1185–1333).
		Many of Fushimi’s calligraphies are extant in poetry collections, as fragments (gire) of kana (Japanese syllabic) calligraphy in his even and fluid style, for example the Hirosawa-gire (Kyoto, Nishi Honganji) and the Chikugo-gire, and in collections of calligraphies by emperors.

	Session 109 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		By situating the Taketori alongside contemporary law codes as well as the tale’s fictional precursors, I argue that the story—concerning a princess from the moon consigned to a term on earth because of an earlier transgression (tsumi)—must also be viewed in the framework of early Japanese narratives of exile.
		In imagining the world of the court as the peripheral locus of the princess’ exile, and in portraying an emperor, military, and aristocracy virtually powerless before the celestial moon beings, I argue that the Taketori employs the exile motif to comment subversively on the situation at court at the time of its composition.
		It prompts the reader toward a certain framework from which to view Nijô’s political fate within Retired Emperor Gofukakusa’s circle.

	Pillow Song
		Japanese text, sung in The Pillow Song, from "The Confessions of Lady Nijo", written in Japan in about 1307.
		The words were attributed to GoFukakusa, the 89th Emperor, and were addressed to Lady Nijo, herself.
		Paul Barker, in the Pillow Song, used a spare and haunting texture of solo soprano, chorus of four women's voices, and occasionally quiet gong-strokes, to off-set a gentle story of tenth-century Japan...this was enchanting.

	H-Net Review: Timothy J. Van Compernolle on The Father-Daughter Plot: Japanese Literary Women ...
		: Unruly Tales from a Dutiful Daughter," Edith Sarra observes that her subject, Lady Nijo, records her father's urging that she continue the family's literary tradition and his admonishment that should she ever incur the displeasure of her lord, Retired Emperor Gofukakusa, she should take Buddhist vows and become a nun.
		Lady Nijo structures her narrative in such a way that she follows her father's dying wish that she continue the literary heritage of the family, but the text she produced is "unruly" because it simultaneously highlights the various plots concerning her erotic destiny instigated by her father and her "surrogate father," Gofukakusa.
		Essays on representations of the father among modern women writers--including Tomoko Aoyama on Mori Mari, Eileen Mikals-Adachi on Enchi Fumiko, Rebecca Copeland on Uno Chiyo, and Ann Sherif on Koda Aya--continue to grapple with the conjoined problems of representation and idealization from different angles.
