Tsuchida Gozen

Who was Tsuchida Gozen?

Tsuchida Gozen was married to Oda Nobuhide and was the mother of Oda Nobunaga, a major feudal warlord in the Sengoku period of Japan. She was also the mother of three of his brothers, Nobuyuki, Nobukane and Hidetaka; and two of his sisters, Oinu and Oichi. It is assumed that she is the daughter of Tsuchida Masahisa, but that is unclear because her real name is unknown. She is buried at Shitennō-ji in modern day Tsu, Mie Prefecture.
