Yoshiko Tsuchimikado

Yoshiko Tsuchimikado (土御門善子ja:土御門善子) is a Japanese person associated with Onmyodo

The government of Meiji Japan took advantage of this period to force the abolition of the Bureau of Onmyō in 1870, and transferred its duties of astronomical observation and calendar arrangement to the Astronomical and Calendar Bureau of the University (now the University of Tokyo), the Navy Hydrographic Bureau of the Ministry of War, the Astronomical Bureau of the Ministry of Education, and the Observatory. Tsuchimikado Harenaga, the former Head of Onmyō, was appointed as the official in charge of the Astronomical Bureau of the University, but he was relieved of this position at the end of 1870, and astrology, onmyōdō, and the calendars were completely removed from the hands of the Tsuchimikado family. On 9 December 1870, a decree was issued banning the Tensha Tsuchimikado Shinto and the spread of onmyōdō to the civilian population as it was a superstition.^{[note 1]}

Notes[edit]

↑ Therefore, at this point, both the Tsuchimikado family and the Kurahashi family, a branch of the Tsuchimikado family, had left the onmyōdō and onmyōji was no longer an official position. On 21 May 1946, the Tensha Tsuchimikado Shinto was revived, but Yoshiko Tsuchimikado (born 1959) (a daughter of the last male head of the family, Noritada Tsuchimikado (1920–1994)), the current female head of the Tsuchimikado family has taken a stance of not being involved in any way. Therefore, since the Meiji era, there has been no such title as "onmyōji" or "Onmyōdō Sōke" in modern times, and aside from its existence in the private sector, there is no such thing as an onmyōji as an official position.
