Princess Yoshiko (姝子内親王; December 7, 1141 – July 20, 1176), later Takamatsu-in (高松院), was a Japanese princess, and an empress consort of her nephew Emperor Nijō. [1]

She was the daughter of Emperor Toba and Fujiwara no Nariko. She was thus the paternal aunt of her husband, though he was only two years younger than she.
