Japan: Lady Ohatsu, daughter of Lady Oichi, the younger sister of Oda Nobunaga (1570-1633).

Ohatsu or Ohatsu-no-kata (1570–September 30, 1633) was a prominently placed figure in the late Sengoku period. In 1587 she married Kyogoku Takatsugu, a daimyo in Omi province, holding Otsu castle for the Toyotomi clan. After her husband's death in 1609, Ohatsu remained active in the political intrigues of her day. Ohatsu's close family ties to both the Toyotomi clan and the Tokugawa clan uniquely positioned her to serve as a conduit between the rivals. She acted as a liaison until 1615, when the Tokugawa eliminated the Toyotomi.
