*''Japanese'': 宣陽門院 ''(Sen'yômon-in)''
Sen'yômon-in was a daughter of [[Emperor Go-Shirakawa]] and [[Takashina no Eishi]].
Following her father's death in [[1192]], the 11-year-old Sen'yômon-in inherited the [[Rokujo Palace|Rokujô Palace]] as her residence. The ''[[Azuma Kagami]]'' indicates, however, that she had no guards; she therefore reached out to [[Shogun]] [[Minamoto no Yoritomo]], who agreed to provide protection in exchange for some payment of taxes or tribute, and for aid in arranging marriages between Yoritomo's daughters and members of the Kyoto [[kuge|court aristocracy]]. She also inherited a vast number of [[shoen|estates]] across the realm, and gathered ''mon-heishi'' (guards) from these estates to come to Kyoto in rotation to serve as guards for the palace.
In [[1200]], Sen'yômon-in adopted [[Prince Masanari]], a son of [[Emperor Go-Toba]], who then contributed guards to her palace as well. He was exiled following the [[Jokyu War|Jôkyû War]] in [[1221]].
Sen'yômon-in's mother, Takashina no Eishi, died in [[1216]]. In [[1225]], Sen'yômon-in then adopted [[Fujiwara no Choshi|Fujiwara no Chôshi]] (who later married [[Emperor Go-Horikawa]]), and also became the "designated mother" (''junbo'') to [[Emperor Shijo|Emperor Shijô]].
