Lady Sanjō

Her father was Sanjō Kinyori, a court noble of Kyoto who was a retainer of the Takeda clan.

Lady Sanjō's sisters married Hosokawa Harumoto and Honganji Kennyo, respectively.

However, Shingen granted her her own temple, and she quickly established an influential society and a network of key decision makers in Kofu.

A modern-day reincarnation of Lady Sanjō appears in the light novel and anime series, Mirage of Blaze.

The courtier and memoirist Gofukakusa'in Nijō was also recorded to have been referred to as Lady Sanjō after falling from favor in 1283.
