Name

Like many Japanese noblewomen from the classical and medieval periods, the original reading for her given name is uncertain. Shokushi uses the on-yomi of the kanji for her name. This was read by the Japanologist Richard Ponsonby-Fane as "Masuko"^[3] but by historian {{illm|Tomohiko Okano|ja|岡野友彦}} as "Taneko".^[4]
