Combined with the suspicion that Iemitsu was not the biological son of his principal wife, Go, it is speculated that she may have been Iemitsu's real mother. The theory that Ofuku was Iemitsu's mother has existed since the Edo period, but Ofuku herself served Iemitsu as his wet nurse throughout her life, and she went to great lengths to ensure that Iemitsu would become the heir, even influencing Tokugawa Ieyasu. Due to Iemitsu's wife, Takako, suffering from mental illness, Ofuku collaborated with Ieyasu's concubine, Okatsu-no-kata, to mediate between Iemitsu and the shogunate officials and daimyo, becoming involved in the political arena and wielding immense power. This time, we will introduce the reality of the parent-child relationship surrounding Iemitsu, and the life of Ofuku, as Kasuga no Tsubone, who served Iemitsu with a level of devotion that even biological mothers and daughters could not achieve, and who continued to exert influence throughout the Edo period! ----------------------------------- RekiShock Official Twitter   / reki_shock_   Personal Twitter of the person in charge   / rekishock0919   RekiShock Website https://rekishock.com/ [Image Source] NHK Taiga Drama "What to Do about Ieyasu" Official Website https://www.nhk.or.jp/ieyasu/ #WhatToDoAboutIeyasu #JapaneseHistory #History
