Biography
By 1573, Sada and her son had escaped the wrath of the Oda clan with the help of Shōtei and his daughter Rokkaku Katsuhime after her husband failed in his assassination attempt of Oda Nobunaga and was ultimately executed as a result. For nearly a decade, she and her son hid in the village Kumagawa-Juku under the Rokkaku clan's protection.[1]
In 1582, Sada and her son were attacked by bandits, who sought to steal her deceased husband's teppō from her. Although she did not hold it, Sada and her son were abducted and brought to a secluded place to be further interrogated. However, Sada held her own and wounded some of her attackers. Being held, she and her son were then rescued by Katsuhime and her ally, the Kakushiba ikki member and shinobi Fujibayashi Naoe, who killed their attackers. When Sada thanked them for their help, Sada admitted that she learned her husband's teppō was stolen from Azuchi Castle and brought to Ōmizo Castle. With this information, Katsuhime left and promised to retake her mentor's teppō.[1]
