Rinko Minamoto’s final moments Learning about Japanese history from “To Shine” The lawful wife who brought Michinaga his life. Minamoto Rinko was the daughter of Minamoto no Masanobu, the Minister of the Left, and was born into a noble family whose great-grandfather was Emperor Uda, and became the legal wife of Fujiwara no Michinaga.

However, Michinaga had a wife named Minamoto no Akiko, who was a grandchild of Emperor Daigo and was even more noble than Rinko. Why was Rinko able to seize the position of her legal wife over Akiko, and to make all four of her daughters her middle priests?

Let’s take a closer look at Minamoto Rinko’s life and her final moments. Regarding Michinaga’s two wives, it has been said that Rinko was his legal wife and Akiko had a lower status. This is based on the description in “Shoyuki” written by Fujiwara Sanesuke that Rinko was called “Northern” and Akiko was called “Takamatsu-dono.”

However, I don’t think Akiko is better or worse than Rinko in terms of her origins. Considering her lineage, Akiko, the grandson of Emperor Daigo, can be said to be superior to Rinko, the great-grandson of Emperor Uda. It is written in “Okagami” that Michinaga had two official wives.

So why did Rinko become Michinaga’s legal wife and Akiko not? Also, in the Heian period, in cases where a person had multiple wives, how and when was the “legitimate wife” determined? For example, in the case of Michinaga’s older brother, Michitaka Fujiwara, he was also a

Man with a lot of love, just like his father, Kaneie. Michitaka had many wives, but because he particularly liked Takako Takashina, he chose Kita, his legal wife, and had three sons and four daughters with her. Normally, one would think of deciding on a legal wife before marriage, but in Michitaka’s

Case, he decided on a legal wife after marriage. Therefore, it is thought that in the middle of the Heian period, the timing of determining the legal wife had not yet been clearly determined. In fact, in the case of Rinko and Akiko, it is said that the difference was not their

Origins, but the difference between a ritual marriage and a private marriage. A “ceremonial marriage” is a marriage that takes over the formal wedding rituals of the time. On the day of the wedding, the groom delivers a love letter to the bride, and in the evening, he visits the bride’s house in a procession.

At that time, marriage was changing from the traditional marriage between wives and men in Japan to marriage through marriage, and the groom moved to live in the bride’s house. A “private marriage” is a marriage without a formal ceremony. Michinaga married Rinko in a ritual marriage, but he married Akiko in private.

Minamoto Akiko was born as the daughter of her father, the Minister of the Left, Minamoto no Takaaki, and her grandfather was Emperor Daigo. However, in 969, her father Takaaki lost the “Anwa Incident”, a power struggle with the Fujiwara clan, and was exiled.

Therefore, the young Akiko was adopted by her uncle, Imperial Prince Moriaki, but after her uncle’s death, she was taken under the protection of Michinaga’s older sister, Akiko. It is said that the “Anwa Incident” was actually a plot hatched by the Fujiwara clan to overthrow Emperor Daigo’s son, Minamoto no Takaaki.

At that time, there was a belief in vengeful spirits, so Akiko, Takaaki’s daughter, was protected by Junko of the Fujiwara clan. When Akiko was around her age, both Michitaka and Michikane began sending love letters. However, Akiko allows Michinaga, who she patronizes, to visit her girlfriend Akiko.

Michinaga and Akiko got married through private marriage and have four sons and two daughters. The decision as to whether Akiko or Rinko won the title of legal wife was not based on lineage or family status, but on whether the marriage was a private marriage or a ceremonial marriage.

On the other hand, his legal wife, Rinko, had two sons and four daughters with Michinaga, but all four of them became Chugu (Chugugu), ushering in the golden age of Fujiwara regent politics. Furthermore, Rinko’s two sons, Yorimichi and Norimichi, both rose to the rank of Kanpaku.

In contrast, among Akiko’s children, none of her daughters became Chugu, and none of her four sons became Kanpaku. This difference was partly due to Rinko’s father, Masanobu, putting Michinaga in a luxurious mansion called Tsuchimikado Residence to support his career advancement.

After all, the difference between his father being an active court noble and his exile was quite difficult to understand. However, due to this disparity in treatment, Akiko’s sons Yoshinobu and Akinobu misbehaved, such as harming the servants of Noriko’s son Norimichi, and were forced to become priests.

Rinko seems to have had a hard time due to various problems that could be called the Kujo family of the Fujiwara Kita family. In 999, in the first year of Namatsuho, Rinko continued to support her daughter, Akiko, when she became Emperor Ichijo’s chief priest at just 12 years old.

Rinko was second cousin to Murasaki Shikibu, and her residences were next door to each other. Therefore, it is thought that Murasaki Shikibu became Akiko’s wife because of Rinko’s advice to Michinaga. Rinko was a very active woman, and she often appears in the Pillow Book written by Sei Shonagon.

Rinko, who lived with Michinaga at Tsuchimikado’s residence, was different from ordinary aristocratic women who rarely ventured out of her residence, but she frequently traveled back and forth between Michinaga’s residence and the Imperial Palace. Akiko, on the other hand, rarely appears in public, perhaps because she is shy about her girlfriend Rinko.

The power structure during the Sekkan period, which reached its peak during Michinaga’s reign, was highly unstable and fraught with uncertain elements. In other words, regent politics was a world in which a person’s own daughter became the emperor’s middle court, and only after a prince was born and ascended to the throne could

He become a powerful maternal relative. To achieve this, it is essential that the wife first give birth to a daughter who will become the emperor’s wife. The next step is for that daughter to give birth to a prince who will become the future emperor.

Fujiwara no Michinaga sang “My Spring” and “Mochizuki no Uta” at a banquet, but it was his legal wife Rinko and his daughters Akiko who made this possible. In other words, it can be said that Michinaga was nothing more than a “lucky man” who rode in the mikoshi carried by Rinko, Akiko, and others.

Even today, it is difficult to achieve results with infertility treatment. During the Heian period, regent politics was an extremely unstable form of government that was based on the coincidence of childbirth. As a result, the unstable Sekkan government came to an end, and the samurai of the Taira

And Minamoto clans eventually rose to prominence. By the way, Rinko’s family has a long lifespan: her mother Muko lived to be 86 years old, Rinko to 90 years old, and her daughter Akiko to 87 years old. Rinko continued to support Michinaga, who had been prone to illnesses such as diabetes

Since she was young. In 1018, the second year of Kannin, Michinaga reached the peak of his regent politics when his third daughter, Takeshi, became the emperor’s central court. At the banquet, Michinaga composed “Mochizuki no Uta,” but at that time Michinaga was already almost blind due to diabetic retinopathy.

He couldn’t see whether the real moon was waning or not. While supporting her husband, Rinko, who has beautiful black hair and a youthful appearance, acts cheerfully and cheerfully. Murasaki Shikibu also writes down in her diary that he has received gifts and letters from Rinko many times.

Twenty-one years after the death of Fujiwara no Michinaga, the regent government gradually went into decline, but Minamoto no Akiko passed away in 1049, at the age of 80. Four years later, Minamoto no Rinko became Juichii (Junior First Rank), an unprecedented

Feat for a woman, and in 1053, in the first year of Tenki, she reached the end of her natural life at the age of 90.

源倫子は宇多天皇のひ孫という高貴な生まれで藤原道長と結婚するが、道長にはさらに高貴な醍醐天皇の孫である源明子という妻がいた。倫子は道長の正妻の座を射止めるが、それが出来たのは、父源雅信のバックアップとともにもうひとつの理由があった・・
