Kyōun'in
Kyōun'in (興雲院, ? – 23 July 1612), also known as Onabe no Kata (お鍋の方) was a Japanese woman from the Sengoku period to the Azuchi–Momoyama period. She was a concubine of Oda Nobunaga, a Sengoku Daimyō of the Owari Province.
She is said to have been the fourth daughter of Takabata Genjūrō (or Shinjirō), local ruling family in Ōmi Province. According to common belief, she married Ogura Sanefusa (or Sanezumi or Kataharu), lord of Takano Castle in Ōmi Province, and had two sons, but after Sanefusa's death in battle, she became a concubine of Nobunaga. She was the birth mother of Nobunaga's seventh son Nobutaka, eighth son Nobuyoshi and sixth daughter Ofuri. She played the role of a substantial legal wife in Nobunaga's later years, and was treated courteously by Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Yodo-dono.
She had a deep knowledge of literature and had contacts with the kuge.
