Description
Lady Iga no Tsubone served at the court of Emperor Go-Daigo (1288-1339). She was the daughter in law of Go-Daigo’s advisor, Kusunoki. In 1336, Go-Daigo was defeated at the Battle of Minatogawa. Go-Daigo set up a new court in Yoshino. His defeat was in large part due to bad military advice from the incompetent Sasaki no Kiyokata. Go-Daigo forced Sasaki to commit suicide, and his ghost haunted the court in Yoshino. Lady Iga was successful in ridding the court of Kiyokata’s ghost when she confronted it and bluntly told it to go away.
