About Azai Nagamasa
Azai Nagamasa was a Japanese daimyō of the Sengoku period, known for his complex relationship with Oda Nobunaga. He led the Azai clan from Odani Castle in northern Ōmi Province and married Nobunaga's sister, Oichi, in 1564. Their three daughters, Yodo-dono, Ohatsu, and Oeyo, became influential figures in their own right.
