Princess Junshi (珣子内親王; 1311 – 11 June 1337), orShin-Muromachi-in (新室町院), was a Japanese princess and an empress consort (Chūgū) ofEmperor Go-Daigo of Japan.[1]
She was a daughter ofEmperor Go-Fushimi and the Court LadySaionji (Fujiwara) Neishi.[2] She was a younger sister ofEmperor Kōgon, who was a member of theJimyōin family line. For a period of time in the 13th and 14th centuries, the imperial line of succession would "swap" between two family lines: the Jimyōin and theDaikakuji. A Jimyōin emperor would be followed by a Daikakuji emperor, and so on.[3]
In 1318, Go-Daigo, of the Daikakuji line, became emperor. In 1331, during theGenkō incident, his plot to overthrow the Kamakura shogun was discovered, and the shogun responded by removing him from the throne, replacing him with Emperor Kōgon of the Jimyōin.[3][4]
In 1333, after much conflict, Go-Daigo re-took the throne. As part of his plan to neutralize the potential power of Kōgon and the Jimyōin family, Go-Daigo married Junshi - Kōgon's sister.[3][4]
Later on, she became known as Empress Dowager Shin-Muromachi-in.
