Empress Meishō (明正天皇) (January 9, 1624 - December 4, 1696) was the 109th imperial ruler of Japan, reigning from December 22, 1629 to November 14, 1643. Her personal name was Okiko (興子) and her title was Onna Kazu no miya (女一宮).
She was the 2nd daughter of Emperor Go-Mizunoo. Her mother was Tokugawa Kazuko, daughter of the 2nd shōgun, Tokugawa Hidetada. She had no children of her own.
Name
Her name was derived by combining the names of two previous empresses, Gemmei (707-715) and her daughter Genshō (715-724)
Life
In 1629, she became Empress after her father, Emperor Go-Mizunoo suddenly abdicated in the Purple Clothes Incident. By her enthronement, she became the first woman to occupy the throne since Empress Shōtoku, who died in 769. During her reign, her father Emperor Go-Mizunoo ruled in her name. In 1643, she abdicated in favor of her younger half-brother, who became Emperor Go-Kōmyō

Né en 1941, Meisho Tôsha est un maître du fué, flûte de bambou japonaise.
Directeur du Shumei Takio Ensemble formé par son père, Meisho Tôsha ne limite pas son répertoire à la tradition japonaise et aime explorer dautres styles musicaux notamment le jazz.
The series Dai Nippon Meisho Kagami, "Mirrors of Famous Commanders of Japan", is among the popular ones of Yoshitoshi.
At the time, when Dai Nippon Meisho Kagami was published, Japan was under the impression of the events of the Satsuma rebellion - a last uprise of the old Samurai forces against radical Meiji reforms.
It looks like the Satsuma rebellion stirred an interest of the public in images of military and historic events.
