Empress Suiko推古天皇
Kojiki (Record of Ancient Matters) Middle and Lower Books The oldest surviving book in Japan. Three volumes, beginning with the opening of heaven and earth, passing through the age of the gods, and closing with Empress Suiko. One hundred and five songs are written in man'yōgana, so a whole text survives in which the Chinese characters carry sound alone and not meaning. It sets down the same events differently from the Nihon Shoki at many points, and is well worth reading beside it.
1Emperor Suiko
豐御食炊屋比賣命。坐小治田宮。治天下參拾漆歲。御陵在大野岡上。後遷科長大陵也。
Toyomikekashikiyahime no Mikoto dwelt in the palace of Oharida (小治田宮) and ruled all under heaven for thirty-seven years. Her tomb was on the hill of Ohono (大野岡上), and later it was moved to the great tomb at Shinaga (科長大陵).

豐御食炊屋比賣命
Toyomikekashikiyahime no Mikoto was a woman ruler. The title tennō (天皇) does not distinguish sex, so a woman ruler is called Emperor here as elsewhere in this book. ― translator
