“王女” (ōjo) is a Japanese term that translates to "princess" in English. It refers to a female member of a royal family, often the daughter of a king or queen. In many cultures, including Japan, a princess typically holds a significant social status and may be involved in ceremonial duties and public appearances. In Japanese history, the role of a princess has varied, with some playing important political roles or marrying into other royal families to form alliances. Notable figures include 小野小町 (Ono no Komachi), a famous poetess, and 明治天皇 (Emperor Meiji), whose daughters contributed to the modernization of Japan.
