Tokiwa-Gozen with her three children in the snow

by Utagawa Kuniyoshi

Tokiwa Gozen (常盤御前) (1138 – c. 1180), or Lady Tokiwa, was a Japanese noblewoman of the late Heian period and mother of the great samurai general Minamoto no Yoshitsune. Sources disagree as to whether she was a concubine or wife to Minamoto no Yoshitomo, of which she bore Minamoto no Yoshitsune. She was later captured by Taira no Kiyomori, but escaped.

After leaving Kiyomori, Tokiwa married Fujiwara no Naganari. She had children with him.

Lady Tokiwa is primarily associated, in literature and art, with an incident in which she fled through the snow, protecting her young son with her robes, during the Heiji Rebellion in 1160.

She is also known as Hotoke Gozen, or Lady Buddha.

Notes about the reproductions

All the art in-store is from Ukiyo-e Painters, and mainly
from the 19th century. I am trying to keep the format as minimal as possible.
However, all the prints are coming from digitally created images from a
Woodblock print and they have “age-related” imperfections. The images might not
be as perfect as nowadays prints/reproductions
