(There is a description in "Fuso ryakki" [A Brief History of Japan], saying 'the empress conducted shosei at the government in the year of hinotoi [which means 687 here]; that she ascended the throne four years after; and that she put the capital in the Fujiwara Palace, Asuka kiyomihara no miya, Takaichi County, Yamato Province.) (『扶桑略記』に、「皇后朝に臨んで称制し 丁亥の歳をもって元年となす 四年に至って即位し 大和國高市郡明日香淨御原宮藤原宅に都す」とある) |
