Kenshô-in, also known as Iyo-hime, was the first wife of [[Shimazu Narioki]], and mother to four sons, including [[Shimazu Nariakira]], and one daughter.
Born in early [[1792]], Iyo was the third daughter of [[Ikeda Harumichi]], lord of [[Tottori han]]; her mother Sei-hime was a daughter of [[Date Shigemura]]. Iyo was married to Shimazu Narioki, the future lord of [[Satsuma han]], in [[1807]], and gave birth to a son, Shimazu Nariakira, two years later. She did not give her son to a wet-nurse, but raised him herself, paying close and strict attention to his upbringing and education. Iyo is said to have had a strong interest in education herself, acquiring great skills at both Chinese- and Japanese-style poetry, and great knowledge of the Buddhist canon. She is also known for her mastery of the ''[[naginata]]''.
In addition to Nariakira, she had three other sons and one daughter with Narioki.
She died in [[1824]].
