Empress Fujiwara-no-Teishi.
[k]

＠
Though she and her husband, Emperor Ichijou, loved one another, political machinations had their way...
[k]

＠
...and she eventually met a tragic end.
[k]

＠
At the time, people believed her death would lead to the ascent of her cousin and uncle, Second Empress Fujiwara-no-Shoushi and Fujiwara-no-Michinaga, respectively.
[k]

＠
But that is not what happened.

Even after her death, Teishi's presence[sr]wasn't truly gone from the imperial court...
[k]

＠
...thanks to a book that kept her memory alive with depictions of her in all her noble splendor:
[k]

＠
“The Pillow Book”.
[k]

＠
Sei Shounagon's work omitted any description of how Teishi died during a period of pain, worry, and grief...
[k]

＠
...and painted a picture of her as a beautiful saint defined by her boundless love.
[k]

＠
So it was, that the people she left behind continued to yearn desperately for the lost saint depicted in The Pillow Book.
