- Born: 1637
- Japanese: 千代姫 (Chiyohime)
Chiyohime was the wife of Tokugawa Mitsutomo (second lord of Owari han), and the daughter of Shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu & his concubine Ofuri-no-kata.
In 1652, she commissioned the construction of the Jishô-in Mausoleum to host memorial services for her mother. The mausoleum, which survives today at the Edo-Tokyo Open-Air Architectural Museum, is a valuable example of early Edo period architecture.
