*''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 (d. 1640)|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.
