I am not sure that the improper advances of Gembo on Fujiwara Hirotsugu's wife (backed by a 1959 source) are accepted by today's historians.
This newer source from 1996 (page 124) says: Since the account [in Shoku Nihongi] is somewhat contradictory and ambiguous in classical Japanese, some historians mistakenly believed that Gembo had seduced Empress Komyo, the wife of Shomu, while others thought that this was the wife of Fujiwara no Hirotsugu...bamse (

The brief bullet was re-written; and the Matsunaga excerpt is now added as part of inline cite support. In this context, the word
