The reasons why she was exiled to the islands three times was because she refused to show obedience to Ieyasu in exchange for a pardon, and because she was living in a nun-like manner together with Lucia and Clara, who had been her colleague maids of Sunpu-jo Castle, after she reunited with them on Nii-jima Island.
3度も遠島処分にされたのは、そのつど赦免と引換えに家康への恭順を求められつつも断り続けたこと、新島で駿府時代の侍女仲間のルチアとクララと再会して、一種の修道生活に入ったことなどが言及されている。
