When the Emperor Bidatsu died (A.D. 585) no nomination of a Prince Imperial had taken place, and the feud known to exist between the o-omi and the o-muraji increased the danger of the situation. The following genealogical table will serve to elucidate the relation in which the Soga-uji stood to the Imperial Family, as well as the relation between the members of the latter:

\

| Prince Shotoku******

/ Emperor Yomei** > (married to a daughter

*The Emperor Kimmei was the elder brother-in-law of Soga no Umako.

**The Emperor Yomei was the nephew of Soga no Umako.

***The Emperor Bidatsu was a nephew of Umako.

****The Emperor Sushun was a nephew of Umako.

*****The Empress Suiko was a niece of Umako.

******Prince Shotoku was son-in-law of Umako.

It is thus seen that the great uji of Soga was closely related to all the Imperial personages who figured prominently on the stage at this period of Japanese history.
