Sengoku period new biographies

• Aeba no Tsubone - retainer of the Toyotomi clan and wet nurse of Yodo-dono

BIOGRAPHIES

Aeba no Tsubone (饗庭局 ,d. June 4, 1615) was a Japanese noble woman from the Sengoku period to the early Edo period. She served as a wet nurse to Yodo-dono and held a prominent position as a retainer of the Toyotomi clan.

Born to Azai Akimasa, the adopted son of Azai Sukemasa and Umezu-dono, the legitimate daughter of Azai Sukemasa, Aeba no Tsubone's lineage traced back to Azai Naomasa, a former lord. Her older sister, Kaizu no tsubone, married Azai Masataka and served as a lady's maid to Yodo-dono as well. Aeba no Tsubone's son, Naito Choshu, took on the role of head clerk under Kimura Shigenari.

Aeba no Tsubone exhibited exceptional negotiation skills, often representing Yodo-dono in critical matters. During the pivotal Battle of Sekigahara in 1600, she played a crucial role in saving Kyogoku Tatsuko, who resided in Otsu Castle. Alongside representatives Kozosu from Kodaiin and Ogo MOKUJIKI from Mt. Koya, they successfully surrendered Otsu-jo Castle and ensured the safe passage of Tatsuko KYOGOKU to Kyoto.

In the 1614 incident involving the inscription on a bell at Hoko-ji Temple, Aeba no Tsubone, accompanied by Okurakyo-no-tsubone, journeyed to Sunpu. Her involvement extended to the Siege of Osaka, where she and Jokoin acted as envoys, seeking to renew a blood compact with Ieyasu TOKUGAWA.

The climactic Siege of Osaka in 1615 witnessed Aeba no Tsubone and her son Choshu following the honorable path of self-sacrifice, mirroring the actions of Yodo-dono and Hideyori TOYOTOMI, in what later became known as the 'Thirty-two loyal retainers.' Aeba no Tsubone's character and unwavering commitment reflect the tenacious spirit of Yodo-dono, despite subsequent criticisms.

While perhaps not as widely recognized as Okurakyo-no-tsubone, Aeba no Tsubone played a pivotal role among the prominent women within the walls of Osaka-jo Castle, contributing significantly to the events of her time.
