		Hirohito's choice of Princess Nagako provoked a crisis when General Yamagata Aritomo, an elderly noble of a rival clan (Choshu), sought to boost his clan's fortunes by objecting to the betrothal and seeking its annulment, on grounds that his clan had the right to provide a consort for the Emperor-to-be.

	The Emperor Horikawa Diary (1977)
		The author, Fujiwara no Nagako, was a member of a minor branch of the powerful Fujiwara family, and was probably born in 1079, the same year as the future Emperor Horikawa, whose palace attendant she would become around 1101, and whom she would serve until his death in 1107 under the name Lady Sanuke.
		As one of his favorites, Nagako was in position to observe almost every moment of his last flagging days, although not much in the diary betrays the distress that must have accompanied the affair.
		It is not that Nagako lacks passion, it just that so much in her work deals with Horikawa that it is quite impossible to picture the shadowy figure of the author, who gets lost in her lamentations for the Emperor.
