The shogunate proposed Hiroko's marriage to Tokugawa Tsunatoyo on [[1679]]/6/26, and they were married soon afterward, with Hiroko traveling to [[Edo]] with only a few companions, a nurse, and a few hundred guards (but without her parents), as was the custom.<ref>Segawa Seigle, 12.</ref>
Her first two children died in infancy, one a girl born in [[1681]] who lived for only two months, and the other a boy, born in [[1698]], who lived only a few hours.<ref>Segawa Seigle, 13.</ref>
