Empress Meishô was a reigning empress of the early [[Edo period]].
She was the eldest of three daughters of [[Emperor Go-Mizunoo]] by his consort [[Tofukumon-in|Tôfukumon-in]] (aka Tokugawa Masako or Kazuko), a daughter of [[Tokugawa Hidetada]]. Though Go-Mizunoo had sons by other consorts, a daughter with familial connections to the [[Tokugawa clan]] was selected as his successor for political reasons.
She took the throne in [[1629]] following Go-Mizunoo's abdication. Her formal accession ceremony was held on [[1630]]/9/12, but celebrations were held again in [[1634]], with [[Shogun]] [[Tokugawa Iemitsu]] in attendance. This would prove the final visit of a shogun to [[Kyoto]] for over two hundred years.
Meishô abdicated in [[1643]], and was succeeded by one of her half-brothers, who took the throne as [[Emperor Go-Komyo|Emperor Go-Kômyô]].
