Lady Sanjō
(1521 – August 29, 1570) was a Japanese noblewoman who lived during the Sengoku period. She was the wife of the daimyo, Takeda Shingen. Her name is unknown and records only refer to her as Lady Sanjō. Biography Lady Sanjō came from the noble '' kuge'' Sanjō family. Her father was Sanjō Kinyori, a court noble of Kyoto who was a retainer of the Takeda clan. There were five children in the family: two sons and three daughters. Lady Sanjō's sisters married Hosokawa Harumoto and Honganji Kennyo, respectively. Lady Sanjō married Takeda Shingen (then named Takeda Harunobu) at age 16. She gave birth to three sons and two daughters. In this respect, she was more of a person with a keen interest in culture than the daimyo, feudal warlords like Shingen. However, Shingen granted her her own temple, and she quickly established an influential society and a network of key decision makers in Kofu. It is said that she had a very strong connection with Shingen which increased her intere ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Women Of Medieval Japan
A woman is an adult female human. Prior to adulthood, a female human is referred to as a girl (a female child or adolescent). The plural ''women'' is sometimes used in certain phrases such as "women's rights" to denote female humans regardless of age. Typically, women inherit a pair of X chromosomes, one from each parent, and are capable of pregnancy and giving birth from puberty until menopause. More generally, sex differentiation of the female fetus is governed by the lack of a present, or functioning, SRY-gene on either one of the respective sex chromosomes. Female anatomy is distinguished from male anatomy by the female reproductive system, which includes the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, and vulva. A fully developed woman generally has a wider pelvis, broader hips, and larger breasts than an adult man. Women have significantly less facial and other body hair, have a higher body fat composition, and are on average shorter and less muscular than men. Thr ...
