Wikipedia description:

Saionji Shōshi (西園寺しょう子, 西園寺鏱子, 1271 – 10 June 1342), also known as Eifuku Mon'in (永福門院) (also written Eifuku-mon In), was a celebrated Japanese poet of the Kamakura period, and a consort of the 92nd emperor, Fushimi. Her father was the Chancellor Sane-kane. She was a member of the Kyōgoku school of verse (京極派, Kyōgoku-ha), and her work appears in the Gyokuyōshū. She became empress in 1288, and though she had no children of her own, she adopted Go-Fushimi. In 1298, her husband abdicated the throne. On 23 June 1316 (5th year of Shōwa), she took tonsure as a Buddhist nun and was given the Dharma name Shin'nyo Gen (真如源).
