Those who wish for a harmonious marriage had better to connect with her.
She is Uno no Sarara*(Later Empress Jitou) who is the wife of Tenmu Tenno*(Emperor Tenmu) and had been by his side from when Tenmu Tenno was Oama no Oji*(Prince Oama).
Yakushiji Temple in Nara has a statue of Yakushi Nyorai*(Bhaisajyaguru) which is the principal image built by Tenmu Tenno to wish for the Queen to recover from disease. He passed away before Yakushiji Temple was fully completed. In Yakushiji Temple Toto*(East Pagoda) there is the inscription `Toto Satsumei` which writes that Jitou Tenno took over responsibility to build Yakushiji Temple according to Tenmu Tenno's will.
It's understood from this story that they were a loving and happily married couple. They were a wonderful couple who thought of each other and could decide upon actions.
In Nihon Shoki*(Chronicle of Japan), it's written that Jitou Tenno advised about politics to Tenmu Tenno. She was a powerful woman who governed the country after Tenmu Tenno passed away.
