Jingū

The overseas campaign attributed to her has been among the most politically loaded passages in the Japanese chronicles for a century and a half, and the record deliberately states only what the treatments consulted state: that the chronicles say she campaigned while pregnant and gave birth on her return. The historicity of the campaign, its date and its target are disputed and are not adjudicated here. Ōjin is not given a separate record because the corpus already holds him, deified, as Hachiman.

Relations

• mother of: HachimanThe relation is to the deified Ōjin, because that is the record the corpus carries; the identification of Ōjin with Hachiman is the shrine tradition's and the census records it rather than asserting a separate Ōjin record and duplicating.Reference treatment of Empress Jingū as the mother of the future Emperor Ōjin, who is identified with the kami Hachiman in the shrine tradition and in the registry's own Hachiman record.
