Empress Go-Sakuramachi (??????????????? Go-Sakuramachi Tenn??) (September 23, 1740 – December 24, 1813) was the 117th Emperor of Japan|imperial ruler of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession. She was the last empress out of eight in the history of Japan, ruling from September 15, 1762 to January 9, 1771 before abdication|abdicating in favor of her nephew, Emperor Go-Momozono. Her personal name was Toshiko (??????) and her original title was Isa-no-miya (?????????), later Ake-no-miya (??????). Go-Sakuramachi is currently the last woman ever to reign as ruling Empress of Japan. If the current Crown Prince Naruhito adopts a male heir, or the government of Japan does not permit his daughter, Princess Aiko, to eventually assume the throne, she will remain so. She was the second daughter of Emperor Sakuramachi. Her older sister died young, and her younger brother was Emperor Momozono. In 1762, she acceded to the throne by a special decree by Emperor Momozono, who's son Prince Hidehito (later Emperor Go-Momozono) was only 5 years old. By her enthronement, she became the first empress in her own right in 119 years, since Empress Meisho|Empress Meish??. In the ninth year of her reign, 1770, she abdicated in favor of Emperor Go-Momozono. However, that reign did not last long, ending in 1779 when Go-Momozono died without leaving a son. The then-retired Emperor Go-Sakuramachi consulted with the senior courtiers and imperial guards, planning to accept Prince Fushimi-no-miya as an adopted son, but they eventually decided on Prince Morohito (??????), sixth son of Prince Kan'in-no-miya Sukehito (???????????????), who was supported by the emperor's chief advisor (Kampaku). Prince Morohito became Emperor Kokaku|Emperor K??kaku. After the throne had switched to this branch of the imperial line, Go-Sakuramachi, in her role as Retired Emperor, came to be referred to as the Guardian of the Young Lord (Emperor K??kaku). In this role, in 1789, during a scandal involving an honorary title, she admonished the Emperor. She died in 1813, at the age of 73. She left behind a book called Kinch??-nenj?? no koto (??????????????????, roughly "Matters of Years in the Imperial Court"), consisting of poems, imperial letters, imperial chronicles, and so forth, excelling in literary merit.
