Please, can you somehow expand on part of her main biography? I have added as much verified information as I could to the part of her short biography, but, unfortunately, I do not have more extensive reliable information backed up by sources. Please, if any editor has such, let them write part of her Basic Biography, as it is too scarce. Super20020917 (talk) 12:11, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

'that after resigning the throne in favor of a relative, the Japanese Empress Kōken shaved her head, became a Buddhist nun, and forced her way back into power'
Both the hook and the lede highlight the fact that she 'shaved her head' as something separate from 'became a Buddhist nun', which seems pointless, when one was just a customary formal expression of the other and, thus, its automatic result. Noting it separately would seem to imply that it was some kind of fashion choice or a form of self-expression. 78.154.15.163 (talk) 02:25, 27 June 2025 (UTC)
