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.
HARA Minonokami Toratane was a vassal of TAKEDA Harunobu. He was born in Shimofusa (current an area in Kanto region includes Chiba, Saitama, Ibaragi and Tokyo) but later moved to Kai and served Harunobu with his father Tomotane.
He distinguished himself and was taken into Harunobu's confidence. But he left kai and went to Sagami in 1553 because Harunobu ordered him to convert his family religious sect to the Jōdoshu. On the following year, Harunobu asked him to return to Kai. When Harunobu became a priest and called himself Shingen in 1559, he also got his head shaved and called himself Seigan. In 1561, he was wounded at the Battle of Warigatake Castle and it prevented him from participating in the fourth Battle of Kawanakajima. In 1654 he died of illness and his title Minonokami was succeeded to BABA Nobuharu. The gunbai (military leader's fan) of Harunobu is said to have been handed down to his prosperity.
In this series, he has a duel with Kansuke who becomes to serve the Takeda clan and fell into the trap set by him. He keeps a good relationship with Kansuke and is ordered to make his daughter Ritsu marry him by Harunobu but Kansuke refuses it. Toratane gets angry with him but later he understands it and allows that he adopts her as his daughter.
