She is a princess who appears in “Kamakura Sandaiki” as a tragic character suffering from a dilemma of love for her fianc? and affection for her parents, because she must kill his father Hojo Tokimasa to marry with Miuranosuke to whom she is engaged. Among many princess roles, Tokihime is considered particularly demanding, and called “Sanhime” along with Yaegakihime in “Honcho Nijushiko” and Yukihime in “Gion Sairei Shinkoki”.
The wig called Fukiwa shown in the picture is a typical hairstyle for princess roles. In addition, since many princess characters wear a red Furisode, they are commonly called “Akahime (red princess)”.
