Prince and Princess

Japanese: 法親王 - ほうしんのう
Prince and Princess
The title of a member of the imperial family who became a monk. Also called "hoshinnou." In the Heian period, many members of the imperial family became monks. Emperor Shirakawa's son, Kakugyo, became a monk and was called Hoshinno after receiving the title of prince. Hoshinno is a prince who becomes a monk and then receives the title of prince, while the opposite is called Nyudo Shinno, but there are also cases where the same person is called Hoshinno and Nyudo Shinno.

Japanese:
出家した皇族の称。〈ほっしんのう〉とも。平安時代になると皇族の出家が多くなる。白河天皇の皇子覚行が出家後親王宣下を受けて法親王と呼ばれた。法親王は出家したのち親王宣下を受けた親王,その逆は入道親王と称するとされるが,同一人を法親王・入道親王と称した例もある。
