History

There are few known episodes of Princess Nakatsu's life, but she is venerated as a goddess at Hachiman shrines.[1]

Princess Nakatsu was the daughter of Hondamawaka no Ō (also known as Hondamawaka no Mikoto), a descendant of Emperor Kōshō and her mother was Kana-taya hime. Princess Nakatsu was the sister of Takano-iri hime and Otohime. She married Ōjin and had two children, Arata-hime no Mikoto and Emperor Nintoku.[1]

Princess Nakatsu is believed to have become empress consort to Emperor Ōjin in the 2nd year of his reign.[2][1] According to the Nihon Shoki, her sisters Takano-iri hime and Otohime also became consorts of Emperor Ōjin.[2] This was a common practice during this period for sisters to be consorts of the emperor.[1]

After the death of Emperor Ōjin, Princess Nakatsu became empress dowager and the mother of the new emperor, Emperor Nintoku.[1]

The tomb of Princess Nakatsu is believed to be located at Nakatsu-yama no Misasagi in Nara Prefecture.[1]

Nakatsuyama Kofun [ja] Is a kofun in Fujiidera. It is said that Nakatsuhime was buried there.[3]
