Traditional Narrative
Before Jomei's ascension to the Chrysanthemum Throne, his personal name (imina) was Tamura (田村?) or Prince Tamura (田村皇子, Tamura-no-Ōji?). As emperor, his name would have been Okinagatarashi Hironuka no mikoto.
He was a grandson of Emperor Bidatsu both paternally and maternally. His father was Prince Oshisakanohikohito-no-Ōe, his mother was Princess Nukate-hime, who was a younger sister of his father.

Famous quotes containing the words traditional and/or narrative:
“The traditional husband/father has always made choices concerning career, life-styles, values, and directions for the whole family, but he generally had another person on the team—called a wife. And his duties were always clear: Bring home the bacon and take out the garbage.”
—Donna N. Douglass (20th century)
“We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
