After that, she could get no powerful guardian nor could she give birth to a child, and died on September 12, 1002, chasing after her elder sister, Teishi, and her younger sister, Mikushiro-dono (the fourth daughter of FUJIWARA no Michitaka).
その後は有力な後見もなく、皇子女にも恵まれないまま、姉定子、妹御匣殿(藤原道隆四女)のあとを追うように長保4年（1002年）8月3日に死去。
