Day 25: Nijō Ishi, aka Tameko

Nijō Ishi, better known as Tameko, was born into an aristocratic family in late thirteenth-century Japan. Her family were well-known for their poetic endeavors as the namesakes of the Nijō school of five-line waka poetry, and her father, Nijō Tameyo, was a well-known poet who likely taught his daughter.

This prominence secured Tameko a position at court as lady-in-waiting to the empress, and her poetic skills soon became well-known at court. It was here that she met and fell in love with another poet: the emperor’s brother and heir, Prince Takaharu-shinnō. The two married, and over next few years had three children together.

Unfortunately, their happiness was short lived: Tameko died, likely of complications of childbirth, after only five years. Her husband’s forthcoming life, and that of her sons, would be tumultuous: his attempt to restore imperial power after his accession to the throne led to war, exile, and decades of dynastic upheaval.

But despite this, he never forgot Tameko. Poets of the time were given ranked titles; Tameko’s, given years after her death, was at a level otherwise reserved for imperial daughters and empresses. Her preserved poems, alongside many written in her honor, carried her name into history.

I believe in you. You can chop your hair off. You will be stunning. As you are always stunning. I will become a bright-hairedhead and you will become a short-hairhead. We will have a club and call it "The short haired beauties." Then people will make fun of us. But you know what, i don't care. I'll fight them all. And all along they will know that we are better looking than them with our short hair. You can do it. 

However, if you do this and then cry about it for a week (and I'll know if you do), I will have to fight you instead. Make the right decision. 

No pressure. 

Don't over think it. 

With the dearest of love,

                             Your bff.
