Princess Hatsusebe (泊瀬部皇女, Hatsusebe no himemiko) (died 28 March 741) was a Japanese princess during the Asuka period and the Nara period.[1][2]

Life

[edit]

Hatsusebe was a daughter of Emperor Tenmu.[3] Her mother was Lady Kajihime, whose father was Shishibito no Omi Ōmaro. Her siblings included Prince Osakabe, Prince Shiki, and Princess Taki.[4][5][6]

She was made to marry her cousin, Prince Kawashima. Kawashima took part in the conspiracy behind the rebellion with Princes Ōtsu, Osakabe, and Shigi in 686, then betrayed them.[7] Because of his treachery, the plot was exposed before it could be carried out, and the conspirators were all punished except Kawashima.

She never remarried after Kawashima's death in 691,[3] and she died on the 28th day of the 3rd month in 741.
