[edit] Transliteration
The following examples of pre-[Hepburn romanization |Hepburn]] transliteration need to be replaced with a more conventional romaji spelling. Can you help?
- Kyūan gannen or Kyūan 1, in the 8th month (1145): The mother of former Emperor Sutoku (also known as "Taï-ken-mon-in") died.[1]
- Kyūan 6, in the 1st month (1150): Konoe assumed the role of a mature adult; and he married Fujiwara-no Tokoku, who had been raised by Sadaijin Fujiwara-no Yorinaga. Tokoku was the daughter of Dainagon Taira-no Kiyomori. This bride became "Ohochi", or first empress.[2]
- Kyūan 6, in the 3rd month (1150): Konoe married again, this time to "Feï-si," who had been raised by Sesshō Fujiwara-no Tadamichi. She was the daughter of Dainagon Fujiwara-no Koremichi. This bride became chūgyo or second empress. Konoe was so very much enamoured of this second wife that he neglected his first wife, which caused discord in the kugyō, especially between Tadamichi and Yorinaga.[3]
Can you help figure out an alternative to these 1834 transliterations? --Ooperhoofd 14:12, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
