About Tokushi-naishinnō
Lived 1060 – 1114 (aged 53–54). Tokushi-naishinnō was a Japanese empress consort.
Princess Tokushi (篤子内親王; 1060–1114 CE) (also Atsuko ) was a princess and an empress consort of Japan. She was the consort of her nephew, Emperor Horikawa.
Her father died in 1073 and was succeeded by her brother, Emperor Shirakawa. In 1087, Shirakawa abdicated, and appointed his young son, who was crowned Emperor Horikawa. This was against the wishes of the late Emperor Go-Sanjō, who had indicated that, after Shirakawa, the throne should pass to Shirakawa's brothers.
In 1107, Emperor Horikawa died, and Tokushi became a Buddhist nun.
