Life
Princess Yoshiko was born in 1632 to Emperor Go-Mizunoo and his wife, Tokugawa Masako.[1] Yoshiko was Masako's last surviving child,[1] and so following her birth Masako adopted Prince Tsuguhito (later Emperor Go-Kōmyō)[2] who became the heir of their sister, Empress Meishō.[3]
In 1644 she was promoted to the rank of Imperial Princess, and the following year wed Nijō Mitsuhira.[1]
Mitsuhira was himself related to Yoshiko through his mother, Princess Sadako, daughter of Emperor Go-Yōzei.[4]
From this marriage came a daughter, Ryūsōin, who married Tokugawa Tsunashige.[5] However in 1669 Ryūsōin died only aged 22.[6]
Following the death of her husband in 1682, Yoshiko became a nun and died in 1696.[1]
