Lady Yanagiwara Naruko (1855-1943), the birth mother of Emperor Taisho (1879-1926), was the second daughter of Yanagiwara Mitsunaru. In 1870, she was invited to serve at the imperial palace and was given the name Umenoi. Two years later, she won the favor of Emperor Meiji and bore him Princess Shigeko, Prince Yukihito and Prince Yoshihito, who was later enthroned to become Emperor Taisho. In 1902, Lady Umenoi was promoted to Suke (a high-ranking office for a court lady) and was further promoted and recognized as a member of the quasi-imperial family. This letter is addressed to Lady Nakayama Yoshiko (1835-1907), the birth mother of Emperor Meiji. As it is signed Gon-no-Suke, it was written between 1871 and 1902, but as it also refers to the new prince, meaning Prince Yoshihito, it must have been written after 1879. Lady Yanagihara Naruko’s hand shows the Arisugawa School, which was the preferred style of writing used by court ladies.
