Genealogy
She was the daughter of Emperor Temmu and Lady Kajihime, whose father is Shishibito no Omi Ōmaro. Her siblings are Prince Osakabe, Princess Hatsusebe and Prince Shiki.
The first record on her is that she visited Ise Jingu Shrine to see the Saiō, Princess Ōku, in 686.
On the ninth month, tenth day of 698, she was selected by divination as the next Saio. The Saio system had been suspended since Princess Ōku resigned from the Saio in 686. Emperor Mommu wished to set up the system again and let a princess serve the Goddess of Ise at all times.
