Empress Go-Sakuramachi

[CrownPrinceLorenzo]

Can anyone tell me what she was like? I hope that she wouldn't be the last reigning Empress that Japan has had. I'm really rooting for Princess Aiko.

There's more information about Empress Go-Sakuramachi from the Wikipedia Free Encyclopedia. Hope this will help!

Below is the link to more info.

Are there any images of her? Paintings?

I may have found a picture of her. It's from http://www.guide2womenleaders.com/

From this page in particular.
