− | | + | Kôdai-in was the daughter of [[Sugihara Sadatoshi]] and married Hideyoshi around [[1561]]. She proved a trusted confidante to her husband and many letters written to her by Hideyoshi survive. She was given the title Kita no mandokoro after Hideyoshi assumed the post of [[Kampaku]] in [[1585]]. Her husband died in [[1598]] and she afterwards became a nun, retiring in [[1601]] to the [[Kodai-ji|Kôdaiji]] in [[Kyoto]] (where the tombs of Hideyoshi, his mother, and, later, [[Toyotomi Hideyori]] came to rest). Despite their over 30-year relationship, she produced no children with Hideyoshi. |
