She was born as the 3rd daughter of Saionji Sanekane ( tây viên tự thật kiêm ). Sheelopedwith then-Crown Prince Takaharu (later Emperor Go-Daigo) in 1313 and officially got married with him in 1314. Prince Takaharu acceded to the throne as Emperor Go-Daigo in the 2nd lunar month, 1318 and Kishi was made semi-Empress consort(Nữ ngự,nyogo)in the 4th lunar month of the same year. She was made Empress consort (chūgū) in the 8th lunar month, 1319.
Although vol. 1 of the historical epicTaiheikitells she lost the emperor's favor because of her lady-in-waitingAno Renshi(mother ofEmperor Go-Murakami), Hiromi Hyodo, a Japanese literature researcher, claims that the story is the imitation of a poem byBai Juyi,and in the real history Kishi and Go-Daigo were a close and affectionate couple. Other sources such as vol. 4 of the same epic (as later illustrated inTaiheiki Emaki,vol. 2),Masukagami,several historical documents, and poetry by the couple's own hands, show the deep intimacy between the emperor and empress.
Emperor Go-Daigo was captured and exiled to theOki Islandsby theKamakura shogunatein the 3rd lunar month, 1332 and Kishi became a Buddhist nun in the 8th month the same year. Emperor Go-Daigo escaped from the Oki Islands and returned to Kyoto in the 6th lunar month, 1333. After that, Kishi resumed the title of Empress consort (chūgū) and a little later was made High Empress(Hoàng thái hậu cung,kōtaigō-gū,de jure"Empress Dowager", butde factohigher consort-title than "Empress" (chūgū)).She died on the 10th lunar month 12th, 1333.
