Ofuri-no-kata was a concubine of Shogun [[Tokugawa Iemitsu]].
She was the daughter of [[Oka Shigemasa]], a retainer to [[Gamo Hideyuki|Gamô Hideyuki]], and entered the [[Ooku|Ôoku]] in [[1626]]. In [[1637]], she gave birth to [[Chiyohime]].
Following Ofuri's death in [[1640]], she was given the posthumous Buddhist name Jishô-in. In [[1652]], Chiyohime had a mausoleum constructed to serve as the site of memorial services for her mother. Originally located within the temple Jishô-ji in Ichigaya (in [[Edo]]), the Jishô-in Mausoleum now stands in the [[Edo-Tokyo Open-Air Architectural Museum]]. It was built by the [[Kora family|Kôra family]]<!--甲良-->, leading carpenters for the shogunate, who were also involved in the construction of [[Edo castle]] and [[Nikko Toshogu|Nikkô Tôshôgû]].
The Jishô-in Mausoleum (''Jishô-in Otama-ya'') is one of the few early [[Edo period]] mausolea of this style to survive, and so is a valuable example of that style.
