*''Born: [[1660]]''
*''Died: [[1738]]''
Inoue Tsujô was a woman from [[Marugame han]] who served as tutor and attendant to the mother of the ''daimyô'' in [[Edo]] for a time.
Born the daughter of a local official in [[Sanuki province]], she left [[Shikoku]] at the age of 22 and made her way to Edo in search of work. She was soon afterward appointed by [[Kyogoku Takatoyo|Kyôgoku Takatoyo]], lord of her home domain, to serve as a tutor and attendant to his mother. She remained in that position for eight years. Upon Takatoyo's mother's death in [[1689]], Tsujô returned to Marugame, where she married a local official and had five children, one of whom preserved many of his mother's writings.
