The birth of Fujitaka Hosokawa and the era of the bakushin
1534 Mitsubuchi Haruka Born in Kyoto as the second son of Fujitaka, he was adopted by the Hosokawa clan, a family member of the Kanrei family. He was adopted by the Hosokawa clan, a family member of the Kanrei, so he was well educated, able to acquire culture and martial arts, and ran on the elite highway.
In this way, as a bakushin, the 13th Shogun, Yoshiteru Ashikaga I was supposed to serve, but 1565 Eiroku no Hen And things get worse.
Yoshiteru, the 13th shogun who had the nickname of Shogun Swordsman, was defeated by Miyoshi Sanjin and others after a fierce trick. At this time, Yoshiteru's younger brother, Yoshiteru, was imprisoned, but his brother Mitsubuchi Fujihide Together with them, he made a move to rescue him.
Since this incident, Fujitaka Hosokawa has been Omi's Rokkaku Yoshikata . , Wakasa's Yoshinori Takeda , Echizen Asakura Yoshikage I will be struggling with the request to support the shogun. Around this time, it is said that the wandering life was economically tight enough to receive lighting oil from the shrine.
At that time, Fujitaka Hosokawa was 32 years old.
I met Akechi Mitsuhide when he was hidden by Mr. Asakura during this wandering era, and he was also one of the people who was taken care of by Mr. Asakura when the Saito family was destroyed. Kirin ga Kuru Then, there was a depiction that I met at Kyoto Honnoji, but this may have been a hit when it was actually a nuisance to Mr. Asakura in his creation.
Meet Nobunaga Oda and become a vassal
Akechi Mitsuhide Fujitaka Hosokawa It would have been a turning point in his life.
Fujitaka will request Nobunaga Oda through Akechi Mitsuhide to support Yoshiaki Ashikaga's Joraku and Shogun. And 1568 Yoshiaki Ashikaga's Joraku When is achieved, according to this, Yamashiro Shoryuji Castle will be Miyoshi Sanjin . It will be taken from Yamato Province and Settsu.
With this as a trigger, Akechi Mitsuhide and Hosokawa Fujitaka Began to work in the same way as Oda Nobunaga's vassals. However, with the expulsion of Yoshiaki Ashikaga by Nobunaga in 1573, Fujitaka officially became a colleague with Mitsuhide as a vassal of the Oda clan.
At this time, he received a territory around the current Nagaokakyo, Kyoto Prefecture, and his surname came to be named from Mr. Hosokawa to Mr. Nagaoka.
After that, he continued to battle around the plane, Siege of Takaya Castle, Ikko-ikki in Echizen, Ishiyama Battle, Battle of Kishuu . He also played an active part in Akechi Mitsuhide's strategy to capture the San'in region. Also, in 1577, the subjugation of Matsunaga Hisahide, who rebelled against Nobunaga [ Battle of Shigisan Castle ] Also served and fought with Mitsuhide.
Marriage of Tadaoki Hosokawa
Even after becoming a colleague of the Oda clan, the close friendship between Fujitaka Hosokawa (Nagaoka at this time) and Akechi Mitsuhide continued, and they were able to compete with each other. In 1578, with the recommendation of Nobunaga, when the marriage of firstborn Tadaoki Hosokawa and Mitsuhide's daughter Gracia was decided, the bond between the Hosokawa family and the Akechi family became even deeper.
This marriage was a big hit, and more and more two people acted together.
At that time, an incident occurs ...
Yes, it's a strange thing about Honnoji ...
Honnoji Incident and Fujitaka Hosokawa
1582 Honnoji Incident Akechi Mitsuhide immediately made a request to his allies under Fujitaka Hosokawa, but Fujitaka's decision was to decline the request.
From the above flow, it was thought that only the Hosokawa clan would take the view of Akechi Mitsuhide, but both parents and children refused Mitsuhide's request for priesthood, and Fujitaka would leave the priesthood.
There are various theories about this. Akechi Mitsuhide is Hosokawa Fujitaka It is also believed that Fujitaka, who was a vassal during the Bakushin era and was not good at becoming a vassal of Mitsuhide because of the hierarchical relationship between the two companies, politely refused.
From Toyotomi Hideyoshi era to Tokugawa Ieyasu era
After the Honnoji Incident, he was heavily used by Hideyoshi and served in the Kyushu Campaign.

Naturally, in Sekigahara, the Hosokawa clan joined the East Army.
At the battle of Tanabe Castle just before, the disciple Hachijomiya, so as to stop the battle because the interpretation of the Japanese poem called Kokin Denju, which was loved by the imperial people of Fujitaka, should be lost. Tomohito There was a direct request for peace from.
The reason is that the interpretation of Kokin Wakashū, which is a collection of Chokusen Wakashū, is passed down from the teacher to the disciples as a secret, and it is only in the mind of Fujitaka Hosokawa.
However, Fujitaka Hosokawa did not respond to this, so finally Emperor Goyosei It was decided that a direct edict would be issued, and in this way the lives of Fujitaka Hosokawa and others were saved, and Battle of Tanabe Castle Is over.
In this way, Fujitaka Hosokawa, who died in the outpost of the Battle of Sekigahara, enjoyed his retired life until his death in 1610. He was retired around Higashiyama, Kyoto, so it is said that he lived a comfortable life.
