À propos
Uji no Wakiiratsuko (宇遅能和紀郎子) was a son of Emperor Ojin and a renowned scholar of Chinese learning. According to the Kojiki, he and his brother Osasagi (later Emperor Nintoku) each refused the throne in deference to the other. He eventually drowned himself at Uji, saying that without his brother accepting the throne, he could not face his deceased father. His tragic devotion moved the people and he was enshrined at Uji-jinja (one of the oldest shrines in the Uji area).
