Japanese writer and poet. The first three of the five parts of the memoir written by Nijō, {I}Towazugatari{/I} (wr. c. 1306; The Confessions of Lady Nijō, 1973) narrate her life at court. The description of her difficult and ultimately indefensible position at the palace as the abdicated emperor’s companion is one of the most revealing autobiographical accounts of love from early Japan. The final two parts of her memoir describe her travels, which were extensive for her time, when travel was both demanding and perilous. Nijō loved daringly, took Buddhism seriously, and traveled far more widely than was usual for a woman. She was a woman of energy, intelligence, and insight. She has been called the female Saigyō after one of the most famous and loved of all Japanese poets, Priest Saigyō, because of her deep commitment to Buddhism, her poetic ability, and her extensive journeys.
