Princess Nakatsu (仲姫命; also known as Nakatsu-hime no Mikoto), is a figure in Japanese mythology who was the consort of Emperor Ōjin and the mother of Emperor Nintoku.[1][2]
Life
Princess Nakatsu was born the daughter of Hondamawaka no Ō (also known as Hondamawaka no Mikoto), a descendant of Emperor Kōshō, and Kana-taya hime. She was the sister of Takano-iri hime and Otohime. She married Emperor Ōjin and had three children, Princess Arata, Prince Netori, and Emperor Nintoku.[1][2]
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 as the mother of the new emperor, Emperor Nintoku.[1]
There are few known episodes of Princess Nakatsu's life, but she is venerated as a goddess at Hachiman shrines.[1]
She is believed to be buried at Nakatsuyama Kofun in Fujiidera.[3]
