Shiba Hitsuko

Please note: This article is about the stateswoman of Nikesake. For other uses of the term, please see Hitsuko (disambiguation).
Shiba Hitsuko was an elderly stateswoman of Nikesake who in 1159 was invited to a party within the Crane Embassy in the city. She had become increasingly senile in her old age, and took a netsuke kept on display in the Embassy's audience chamber. She recovered her wits and wondered where the netsuke came from. She suspecteds it might have come from someone else, and looked for a way to return it without dishonor. A group of samurai helped the aged woman to solve the matter without dishonor.
