  1. Very good movie. I once read the Taiko Novel by Eiji Yoshikawa, telling the life story of Toyotomi Hideyoshi who united Japan, the Taiko. But there was no mention of the Sanada Family. I also watched a movie called Shogun Samurai, about the story of the Sanada Family's resistance to the Ieyasu Tokugawa Shogunate. ~ Teguh from Indonesia, Tanjungpinang ~

  2. Takeda Katsuyori was offered safety by Sanada Yukimura at the Sanada stronghold at Ueda.
    Unfortunately, Katsuyori was influenced by another vassal whose name was Oyamada Nobushige and decided to go to Oyamada's fort instead of further away Ueda.
    Once he arrived at Oyamada's stronghold gate, Katsuyori was betrayed by Oyamada Nobushige who refused to protect him and kept the gate closed.
    Katsuyori's small entourage went to Temmokuzan and were caught up there by enemies.
    If Oyamada Nobushige thought he would be rewarded for his treachery to his lord, when he later went to the Oda clan camp, he was deservedly executed by Oda Nobunaga's officer, Horio Yoshiharu.
    Takeda Katsuyori, his wife and eldest son committed suicide shortly after the fight at Temmokuzan in (March) 1582.
    The Tsuchiya brothers defended them while they were doing their last acts.
    Not all Takeda Katsuyori's family died in April of 1582.
    His youngest son Takeda Katsuchika (born in 1580) who was two years old was taken under the protection of Tokugawa Ieyasu and shielded form Oda Nobunaga.
    Tokugawa Ieyasu ignored Oda Nobutada's order to hunt down the remnants, and hid surviving retainers of the Takeda clan.
    Oda Nobutada also employed farmers to kill many other people, including ministers of justice, court ladies, and anyone related to the Takeda family, whose severed heads were presented to his army.
    Given gold in exchange for these heads, farmers searched for important members of the Takeda clan to kill them and present their heads to Oda's army.
    Katusyori's youngest and only surviving son, Takeda Katsuchika lived as a Tokugawa vassal until the old age of 103, yes, 103 as he died in 1682.
    A few other Kai Province Takeda clan members survived as well as former vassals. The Takeda were no longer masters and owners of Kai Province.

    Blessed are the Sanada and Tsuchiya families – they were loyal.
