Hvem giftet seg med Saga (imperador)?

Imperador Saga (嵯峨天皇, Saga-tennō; 3 de outubro de 786 - 24 de agosto de 842) foi o 52º Imperador do Japão, na lista tradicional de sucessão.

Reinou de 809 a 823.

Tachibana no Kachiko (橘 嘉智子; 786 – June 17, 850), also known as Empress Danrin (檀林皇后, Danrin-kōgō), was a Japanese empress, the chief consort of Emperor Saga and the daughter of Tachibana no Kiyotomo. She was de facto ruler of the empire between 833 and 850.

The empress was a devout Buddhist. In addition to being beautiful, she was described as having hands that reached below her knees, one of the 32 characteristics (三十二相) of a fully enlightened Buddha. She founded the Buddhist Danrin-ji temple complex some time prior to 847, which became the first temple in Japan to promote the teachings of Zen Buddhism, and for this reason, she came to be called Danrin-kōgō.

She died in the 4th day of the 5th month of 850. Known for her renowned beauty in her life, on her deathbed, Empress Danrin requested her body to be left open to the environment for the public to see the effects of human decomposition. This event later became a popular Japanese folk legend and was later depicted by the 18th century painting "Nine Stages of Decomposition of the Heian Period Empress Danrin".
