 Izumi then moved into Atsumichi's residence, and the two had a very public courtship until Atsumichi's death in 1007 at the age of 27.Soon after, probably in 1009, Izumi joined the court of Fujiwara no Shōshi, who was the daughter of Fujiwara no Michinaga, and the consort of Emperor Ichijō.Further testimony of the scandal caused by her successive affairs with the Princes Tametaka and Atsumichi can be found in two historical tales ("rekishi monogatari") about the period, "A Tale of Flowering Fortunes" (or "Eiga Monogatari"), c. mid-eleventh century, and "The Great Mirror" (or "Ōkagami"), c. late eleventh century.
