Empress of Japan or Japanese Empress means an {{nihongo|empress consort|皇后|kōgō}}. The current empress consort is Empress Michiko (from 7 January 1989). The term can also mean a {{nihongo|female imperial ruler|女性天皇|josei tennō|extra=also 女帝 jotei}}.

Empress regnant

There were eight female imperial reigns (six female emperors including two who reigned twice) in Japan's early history between 593 and 770, and two more in the early modern period (Edo period). Although there were eight reigning empresses, with only one exception their successors were selected from amongst the males of the paternal Imperial bloodline, which is why some conservative scholars argue that the women's reigns were temporary and that male-only succession tradition must be maintained.[1] After many centuries, female reigns came to be officially prohibited only when the Imperial Household Law was issued in 1889 alongside the new Meiji Constitution.

Other than the eight historical empresses regnant, one additional empress (Empress Jingū) is traditionally believed to have reigned, but historical evidence for her reign is scant and she is not counted among the officially numbered Emperors.

The eight historical empresses regnant are:

  • Empress Suiko (554–628), r. 593–628 (Empress Consort of Emperor Bidatsu)—first ruling empress
  • Empress Kōgyoku (594–661), r. 642–645, then r. 655–661 as Empress Saimei (previously Empress Consort of Emperor Jomei)
  • Empress Jitō (645–702), r. 686–697 (Empress Consort of Emperor Tenmu)
  • Empress Genmei (661–721), r. 707–715
  • Empress Genshō (680–748), r. 715–724—previously Princess Hidaka
  • Empress Kōken (718–770), r. 749–758, then r. 764–770 as Empress Shōtoku
  • Empress Meishō (1624–1696), r. 1629–1643
  • Empress Go-Sakuramachi (1740–1813), r. 1762–1771—most recent ruling empress

The additional empress regnant according to tradition is:

  • Empress Jingū r. 206–269 (Empress Consort of Emperor Chūai)—not counted among the officially numbered Emperors

Empress consort

In ancient Japan, most of the empresses consort were princesses, except for Iwa no hime (empress consort of Nintoku). After Empress Kōmyō (empress consort of Shōmu), daughters of Fujiwara clan or other clans could become empresses consort. Originally Chūgū (中宮) meant the palace for Kōgō, Kōtaigō (皇太后) (Empress Mother/Empress Dowager), or Tai-Kōtaigō (太皇太后) (Grand Empress Mother/Grand Empress Dowager). Until mid-Heian Period, Emperor had only one empress consort, and empress consort was also called Chūgū. Since Emperor Ichijō, because some Emperors had two empresses Consort, one of them was called Kōgō and another one was called Chūgū. After maiden Princess Yasuko became Kōgō as the mother-in-law (准母) of Emperor Horikawa, maiden princesses also became Kōgō.

List of non-reigning empresses

Kōgō is the title of a non-reigning empress consort. The title, still in use, is generally conferred on an emperor's wife who had given birth to the heir to the throne.[2] The title was first awarded posthumously in 806 to the late mother of Emperor Heizei.[3]Chūgū was a term which evolved during the Heian period; and it came to be understood as the title of the empress. For a time, chūgū replaced kōgō; and then the titles became interchangeable.[4]

The numbers of kōgō varied, but there was only one Chūgū at a time.[5]

The title kōtaigō was given to the wife of an ex-emperor; and the title tai-kōtaigō came to be used by a dowager empress.[4]
