Next, Ieyasu arranged Sen-hime’s marriage to Daimyo [[Honda Tadatoki]] of [[Himeji castle]]. They had two children. When Honda died 10 years later, Sen-hime took vows as a nun with the name [[Tenjuin]] and lived in [[Edo]] until her death at the age of 70. Sen-hime did not stay cloistered as a nun. She had a connection with both [[Tokeiji]] and [[Mantokuji]] convents (the only two sanctuaries for women who were threatened or abused in Edo period Japan). Inspired by Tokeiji’s Divorce system, Sen-hime established this system at Mantokuji, a [[Kamakura Era]] temple founded by the Tokugawa Clan in Gunma-ken.

In [[1642]], Sen-hime was asked by Naa-hime, who had become Abbess Tenshu, to help save the [[Hori]] clan women who were given sanctuary because of a request from [[Hori Mondo]] (a retainer of the Daimyo [[Kato Ikinari]] of [[Aizu castle]]). Once Kato had killed the men of the Hori clan, he sent an assassin to kill the women at Tokeiji in Kamakura. This episode has been sensationalized in the manga, The Yagyu Ninja Scrolls: the revenge of the Hori Clan by Futaro Yamada and Masaki Segawa, a part historical account, part fantasy of the Hori Incident.
