Genealogy[edit]
Some people say that she was once a wife of Prince Karu, a grandson of Empress Jitō, but no clear evidence exists.
The Man'yōshū includes some poems of her love for her half-brother Prince Yuge, a son of Princess Ōe.[1][2] No other historical materials recording about her life are existing. No records say that she married him.
