Empress Genshō

Empress Genshō, full name Genshō Tennō, was the 44th monarch of Japan, reigning from 715 to 724. She was the fourth female emperor of Japan and the older sister of Emperor Mommu, whose young son, Prince Obito, was still too young to to govern. During her reign, she continued the policies of her predecessors and managed state affairs until her cousin came of age and ascended the throne as Emperor Shōmu. Genshō's reign is characterized by political stability and the continuation of the Ritsuryō reforms, which structured Japan's administrative system.
