Tokugawa Ieyasu

Tokugawa Ieyasu

Tokugawa Ieyasu (徳川家康, Tokugawa Ieyasu? 31 de enero de 1543 – 1 de junio de 1616; nacido como Matsudaira Takechiyo) fue el fundador y primer shōgun del shogunato Tokugawa, el régimen feudal que gobernó Japón desde la batalla de Sekigahara, en 1600, hasta la Restauración Meiji en 1868. Está considerado como uno de los tres «grandes unificadores» de Japón, junto a Oda Nobunaga y Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Hijo de un daimyō (señor feudal), Ieyasu llegó a vivir durante una temporada como rehén del daimyō Imagawa Yoshimoto en nombre de su padre. Más adelante, tras la muerte de su padre, él mismo llegaría a ejercer como señor feudal, sirviendo también como vasallo y general bajo las órdenes de Oda Nobunaga.​

Tras la muerte de Oda Nobunaga, Ieyasu se convirtió brevemente en rival de Toyotomi Hideyoshi, si bien acabaría declarando su lealtad a este.​ Esto no evitó que Toyotomi lo destinara a las llanuras de Kantō, en la parte oriental de Japón, lejos de la base de poder en Osaka.​ Ieyasu levantó su propio castillo en lo que entonces constituía un pequeño poblado pesquero, Edo.​ Con el paso de los años Ieyasu se convirtió en el daimyō más poderoso y en el militar de mayor rango bajo el régimen de Toyotomi.​ Además, consiguió preservar sus fuerzas militares durante el intento fallido de Toyotomi por conquistar Corea.​ En el año 1600, tras la batalla de Sekigahara, Ieyasu se hizo virtualmente con el poder.​ En 1603 recibió el nombramiento de shōgun, abdicando voluntariamente de su cargo dos años más tarde. No obstante, siguió gobernando en la sombra hasta su muerte en 1616. Implementó un conjunto de normas a las que se conoció como el sistema bakuhan, diseñadas para mantener a los daimyō y los samuráis bajo control del shogunato Tokugawa.​​

Lady Saigō

Lady Saigō

Lady Saigō (西郷局 or 西郷の局 Saigō no Tsubone; 1552 – 1 July 1589), also known as Oai, was one of the concubines of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the samurai lord who unified Japan at the end of the sixteenth century and then ruled as shōgun. She was also the mother of the second Tokugawa shōgun, Tokugawa Hidetada. Her contributions were considered so significant that she was posthumously inducted to the Senior First Rank of the Imperial Court, the highest honor that could be conferred by the Emperor of Japan.

During their relationship, Lady Saigō influenced Ieyasu's philosophies, choice of allies, and policies as he rose to power during the late Sengoku period, and she thus had an indirect effect on the organization and composition of the Tokugawa shogunate. Although less is known of her than some other figures of the era, she is generally regarded as the "power behind the throne", and her life has been compared to a "Cinderella story" of feudal Japan.

Once she was in a respected and secure position as the official concubine and mother to Ieyasu's heir, Lady Saigō used her influence and wealth for charitable purposes. A devout Buddhist, she donated money to temples in Suruga Province, where she resided as the consort of Ieyasu, first in Hamamatsu Castle and later in Sunpu Castle. As she was quite near-sighted, she also established a charitable organization that assisted visually impaired women with no other means of support. Lady Saigō died at a fairly young age, under somewhat mysterious circumstances. Although murder was suspected, no culprit was identified.

Lady Saigō bore four children: she had a son and a daughter (Saigō Katsutada and Tokuhime) while married, and she later bore two sons as the consort of Tokugawa Ieyasu: Tokugawa Hidetada and Matsudaira Tadayoshi. Among the descendants of Lady Saigō was the Empress Meishō (1624–1696), one of very few women to accede to the Chrysanthemum Throne as empress regnant.
