Empress Kōken(孝謙天皇,Kōken-tennō, 718 – August 28, 770), also known as Empress Shōtoku(称徳天皇,Shōtoku-tennō), was the 46th (with Empress Kōken name) and the 48th monarch of Japan (with Empress Shōtoku name), according to the traditional order of succession. Empress Kōken first reigned from 749 to 758, then, following the Fujiwara no Nakamaro Rebellion, she reascended the throne as Empress Shōtoku from 765 until her death in 770.
Empress Kōken was involved in the Rasputin-like affair with priest Dōkyō and appointed him Grand Minister in 764. In 766 he was promoted to Hōō (priestly emperor) and in 770 had tried to ascend to throne by himself. The death of the Empress and resistance from the aristocracy destroyed his plans.
This incident was a reason for the later move of the Japanese capital from Nara (Heijō).
In the history of Japan, Kōken/Shōtoku was the sixth of eight women to take on the role of empress regnant. The five female monarchs before Kōken/Shōtoku were (a) Suiko, (b) Kōgyoku/Saimei, (c) Jitō, (d) Gemmei, and (e) Genshō; and the two women sovereigns reigning after Kōken/Shōtoku were (f) Meishō, and (g) Go-Sakuramachi.

Empress Koken-Shotoku, the Monk Dokyo and why women can't become the Emperor of Japan
Welcome to Japanese History for Everyone, now available to people of all intelligence levels (and not limited to Morons) lol
This is my first time making a Japanese History video in almost a decade and I know I don't have a lot of resources so its not perfect, but my roommate and I spent three days filming and editing this video, so I hope you like it!
As a note not all the ukiyo-e prints match specifically to the person they are representing and the backgrounds are also not exact as well. Its really hard to find an ukiyoe depicting 8th century nara, so please bear with me.

Empress Suiko.and her regent,Prence Umayato(He subjecsts later came to call him Shotoku Taishi).
And tehir many achievements. Together they built a country.
Welcome to Japanese History for Everyone, now available to people of all intelligence levels (and not limited to Morons) lol
This is my first time making a Japanese History video in almost a decade and I know I don't have a lot of resources so its not perfect, but my roommate and I spent three days filming and editing this video, so I hope you like it!
As a note not all the ukiyo-e prints match specifically to the person they are representing and the backgrounds are also not exact as well. Its really hard to find an ukiyoe depicting 8th century nara, so please bear with me.

Empress Kōken(孝謙天皇,Kōken-tennō, 718 – August 28, 770), also known as Empress Shōtoku(称徳天皇,Shōtoku-tennō), was the 46th (with Empress Kōken name) and the 48th monarch of Japan (with Empress Shōtoku name), according to the traditional order of succession. Empress Kōken first reigned from 749 to 758, then, following the Fujiwara no Nakamaro Rebellion, she reascended the throne as Empress Shōtoku from 765 until her death in 770.
Empress Kōken was involved in the Rasputin-like affair with priest Dōkyō and appointed him Grand Minister in 764. In 766 he was promoted to Hōō (priestly emperor) and in 770 had tried to ascend to throne by himself. The death of the Empress and resistance from the aristocracy destroyed his plans.
This incident was a reason for the later move of the Japanese capital from Nara (Heijō).
In the history of Japan, Kōken/Shōtoku was the sixth of eight women to take on the role of empress regnant. The five female monarchs before Kōken/Shōtoku were (a) Suiko, (b) Kōgyoku/Saimei, (c) Jitō, (d) Gemmei, and (e) Genshō; and the two women sovereigns reigning after Kōken/Shōtoku were (f) Meishō, and (g) Go-Sakuramachi.
Wooden statue of Shotoku, Musée Guimet, Paris... Shotoku served as regent for his aunt, Empress Suiko, from 593 to 622 CE, and became immensely popular. Tosa Mitsuyoshi (1700–1772), portrait of Empress Suiko.
