Yodo-dono was the daughter of Oichi and sister to Ohatsu and Oeyo. She married Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the most powerful man in Japan at the time, and became the mother of his successor, Hideyori. She lived through a time of great turmoil and change. She was interested in politics and administration. Together with her son, she led the last resistance against the Tokugawa shogunate in the siege of Osaka.
She was a prominent woman of the late Sengoku period, inheriting her mother’s good fortune. Before the winter Siege of Osaka, she sent envoys to visit Tokugawa Ieyasu in Sunpu. She soon saw through his plot, and the commander of Osaka Castle took decisive measures in response. Before the war, she also sent envoys for reinforcements, gathering tens of thousands of samurai. Seeing the strong defenses, he was forced to retreat and eventually signed a peace treaty after a prolonged siege. As a prominent figure of the late Sengoku period, she is well remembered for her beauty and legendary actions.
