Fujiwara-no-Mokou was an unwanted child.

Fujiwara-no-Mokou was an unwanted child.

Mokou's father was a prince...

...and thus Mokou too, having been born as his daughter...

...was of noble blood.

However...

...her father, who had never wanted this child...

...was not the least bit delighted at her birth.

But though he felt this way from his position as the father...

...he could not ignore the mother's plea...

...and the child was allowed to live.
