The Three Sisters of Oichi
I was born as the sister of Oda Nobunaga.
And I had three daughters.
Each of them walked a different path.
■ 茶々(Chacha)=淀殿 (Yodo-dono)
She lived at the very center of power.
As the companion of Toyotomi Hideyoshi,
she stood inside Osaka Castle—
a symbol of ambition.
When that world collapsed,
she did not leave.
She remained there until the end.
Tips
Visit 大阪城
A place where power rose—
and where it fell.
■ 初(Hatsu)
She chose a quieter life.
Away from the center.
Away from conflict.
While others stood in history,
she remained between worlds.
Tips
Explore regions connected to the Kyogoku family—
places that are not always in guidebooks,
but still carry the memory of the past.
■江(Go)
She became part of a new order.
Through her,
the Tokugawa system was strengthened.
Her lineage continued
into the next era.
Tips
The foundation of modern Tokyo.
■ What continued
They lived different lives.
They stood in different positions.
But they were never separate.
Because what truly continues
is not power—
but lineage.
The blood of Mrs.Oichi
did not end in that era.
It moved forward.
Quietly.
Surely.
And it still reaches
into the present.
■ The one who guides you
From here on,
your journey will be guided by
Mrs.Oichi—
or one who carries her name.
Not as a ruler.
Not as a legend.
But as a voice
that connects the past to the present.
Follow the traces.
Visit the places.
And see what still remains.
The story continues—
with you.
