Shinanomiya Tsuneko was an Imperial princess, daughter of [[Emperor Go-Mizunoo]] and [[Shin-Kogimon-in|Shin-Kôgimon-in]]. She was a sister of [[Emperor Reigen]], and half-sister to three other ''tennô'', [[Empress Meisho|Empress Meishô]], [[Emperor Go-Sai]], and [[Emperor Go-Komyo|Emperor Go-Kômyô]]. She is known chiefly from her diary, which covers a lengthy period from [[1666]] to [[1700]], and which was never published but survives in manuscript copies.
She married the 16-year-old [[kuge|court noble]] [[Konoe Motohiro]] in [[1664]], when she was 22, at her father's arrangement. Initially, he did not move into her mansion with her, but returned frequently to the Konoe family residence; two years after their marriage, however, he arranged for a new mansion to be built which the couple could make their own.
and had several children. Her only daughter, Hiroko, married the sixth [[shogun]], [[Tokugawa Ienobu]], and her son Iehiro and grandson Iehisa came to hold high rank and post, serving as ''[[sessho|sesshô]]'', ''[[kanpaku]]'', and ''[[dajo daijin|dajô daijin]]'', and being granted the rank of ''jugô'' (aka ''jusangô''<!--准后, 准三后-->), second in rank only to emperors and empresses, though Iehiro declined the latter honor.
