Tokuhime (ç£å§«: 1565 – March 3, 1615) ( Hime means " princess", " lady") was a princess during the Sengoku and Edo periods of Japanese history. [1] She was the second daughter of Tokugawa Ieyasu; her mother was Lady Nishigori (西郡ã®æ–¹), one of Ieyasu's concubines. Tokuhime was also known as OfÅ«, Tomiko, Harima-gozen, and RyÅshÅ-in.
Life
In 1582, the death of Oda Nobunaga in the Incident at HonnÅji left Kai and Shinano Provinces without an overlord, and the struggle between Ieyasu and HÅjÅ Ujinao began. However, at that time, the two had nearly equal strength, and thinking that a serious war would weaken even the winner, they sought peace. As part of the accord, Ieyasu agreed to give Toku to Ujinao to be his wife.
In 1590, Toyotomi Hideyoshi attacked the HÅjÅ stronghold at Odawara Castle in the Subjugation of Odawara, eradicating the HÅjÅ as a power. At that time, Ujinao appealed to his father-in-law Ieyasu, who prevailed upon Hideyoshi to spare Ujinao and Toku, sending them to Mount KÅya. In the following year, Ujinao died. Princess Tokuhime and Ujinao had two daughters: HÅshuin-dono. After Ujinao's death, the princess returned to her father, Ieyasu.
In 1594, Hideyoshi arranged for Toku to marry Ikeda Terumasa. They gave birth to five sons: Ikeda Teruoki ( æ± ç”°è¼èˆˆ), Ikeda Teruzumi ( æ± ç”°è¼æ¾„), Ikeda Masatsuna ( æ± ç”°æ”¿ç¶±), Ikeda Tadatsugu ( æ± ç”°å¿ ç¶™) and Ikeda Tadakatsu ( æ± ç”°å¿ é›„); and two daughters: one of them called Furihime (振姫, later known as KÅshÅin åå‹é™¢). Tadatsugu became the lord of Okayama Castle at age five, following the death of Kobayakawa Hideaki.
