Honda Tadatomo

In the year 1609, Tadatomo sheltered Don Rodrigo, who was the Spanish Governor of Philippines.

During the winter campaign of Siege of Osaka, Tadatomo fought well and made a lot of contributions.

In the next year, 1615, Tadatomo fought very valiantly during the Battle of Tennōji, one of the final battles of the summer campaign of Siege of Osaka, to regain his honor by clearing his shame during the winter campaign.

Before his death, Tadatomo was said to be regret making critical mistakes caused by his drinking habit.

Tadatomo's tomb is inside Isshin-ji, a Pure Land Buddhist temple located very close to the camp of the Tokugawa army during the Siege of Osaka.
