Lady Hayakawa

Lady Hayakawa (早川殿, Hayakawa-Dono, died April 4, 1613) was a Japanese aristocrat of the Sengoku period.

Hayakawa is a common nickname for one of Daimyō Hōjō Ujiyasu's daughters, who lived in the Sengoku through early Edo periods.

[1] Current theories suggest that she was the fourth daughter of Hōjō Ujiyasu, daimyō of Sagami province in Kanto.

In 1554, she married Imagawa Ujizane, her cousin, as an agreement of the Kai-Sagami-Suruga alliance, of which she had five children.

Due to their political marriage, the Hojo, Takeda, and Imagawa clans became allies.
