Yoshihiro Kikuhime (吉弘菊姫, d. November 4, 1595) was a Japanese noble woman member of the Ōtomo clan from the late Sengoku period. She was the wife of Ōtomo Yoshimune, the lord of Otomo clan.[1] She was also known as "Justa" or ''Giusta'' due to her baptismal name,[2] with her posthumous Buddhist name "Sonju-in" (尊寿院) derived from it.
