パペットホームズ、大河ドラマなどの好きなテレビ番組やラグビーについて書いています。アフィリエイトはやっていません。／Welcome to my blog. I write about some Japanese TV programmes including NHK puppetry and Taiga Drama, Sherlock Holmes and rugby. I don't do affiliate marketing.
NAOE Sanetsuna (later Kagetsuna) was a vassal of NAGAO Kagetora. He was a father-in-law of Naoe Kanetsugu, superior vassal of UESUGI Kagekatsu.
At first he served the Iinuma Family, vassal of the Uesugi clan who held shugo of Echigo successively. But the family was beaten by Nagao Tamekage, deputy shugo of Echigo and then he served the Nagao clan and became the lord of Motoyoita Castle, later Yoita Castle. Though he opposed the Nagao clan in some ways, he supported Kagetora when he strove with his brother Harukage. Then he was appointed as a magistrate and managed the affairs in the Nagao (Uesugi) clan. In the fourth battle of Kawanakajima, he distinguished himself and beat the troop of TAKEDA Yoshinobu.
As he had no heir, his daughter Sen married Nagao Nobutsuna to maintain the family. But Nobutsuna was killed by another vassal Mori Hidehiro because of a territorial dispute. Then she married HIGUCHI kanetsugu and had some children.
In this series, he supports Kagetora when he opposes Harukage and becomes one of his assistants together with USAMI Sadamitsu. He sometimes admonishes Kagetora who becomes too idealistic. And he attempts to make his daughter Nami serve Kagetora as maid to make her his concubine but in vain. In the fourth battle of Kawanakajima, he makes Kansuke fall off his horse.
