One source relates that due to her serious illness in 1588, Hideyoshi ordered ceremonies at major Shinto and Buddhist temples at Ise, Kasuga, Gion, Atago, Kitano, Kiyomizudera, Kofukuji, and Kuramadera.

[3] Ōmandokoro and her daughter Asahi were sent as hostages to Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1586 when Hideyoshi summoned him to Osaka upon his promotion to the rank of Gon-Chunagon.

[4][5] According to some accounts, one of the warriors, Honda Sakuzaemon Shigetsugu, was said to have advised Ieyasu: "You have to be careful, my lord, for there are a lot of elderly ladies-in-waiting about the Court, and Hideyoshi may quite likely have picked out one of them and sent her as substitute for his mother.
