Lady Nata

Lady Nata (奈多夫人, d. March 23, 1587), known in Christian scholarship as Ōtomo-Nata Jezebel, was a Japanese noblewoman from the Sengoku period. Daughter of Nata Akimoto, she was a high priestess of Usa Jingū. She was the first wife of Christian daimyo Ōtomo Sōrin. She actively resisted the Jesuit mission in Japan and the spread of Christianity in Kyushu.

Her religious and political influence was so great that she was the principal leader of the anti-Christian force in Bungo province during the rule of Ōtomo Sōrin.
