From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ōmidaidokoro (大御台所) was a title that can only be given to the past shōgun's official widow or retired shōgun's chief consort/wife.[1] These women had an extraordinary or considerable political power behind the scenes, leading much of the court's events and other events that impacted Japanese history. During the Edo period she resided in Ōoku, third corridor (sannomaru).
