Princess Onna-ni[a] (女二宮; personal name unknown) was a Japanese princess and daughter of Emperor Go-Mizunoo and his wife Tokugawa Masako.[1]
Life
[edit]Ninomiya was born on 14 October 1625 to Emperor Go-Mizunoo and Tokugawa Masako and was their second daughter.[1]
According to the terms set out by the shōgunate upon the abdication of Ninomiya's half-sister, Empress Meishō,[1] the princess, along with her half-brother (the soon-to-be Emperor Go-Kōmyō)[2] were upon the few people that the Empress would actually be allowed to visit upon her abdication.[3]
The princess wed Konoe Hisatsugu and together they had a daughter, Yoshi-miko.[1] Their daughter wed the head of the Fushimi-no-miya, Prince Fushimi-no-miya Sadayuki.[4][5]
Furthermore, whilst not biologically related, Princess Ninomiya was considered the mother of Hisatsugu's son with a concubine, Konoe Motohiro.[6]
She died in 1651 aged 25.[1]
Regarding her name
[edit]The princess's real name is unknown, with Onna Ninomiya being a title.[7] Her name is sometimes written as Princess Akiko,[1] however this is likely not her name, instead coming from her being mistakenly conflated for another daughter of Emperor Go-Mizunoo, Princess Akiko.[8][9]
