Tamehiro Hiratsuka was the lord of Tarui Castle and he was good friends with Yoshitsugu Otani. Yoshitugu’s
leprosy worsened, he could not see, and walking was difficult. So Tamehiro Hiratsuka commanded the battle. Otani’s forces ran neck and neck with Todo’s forces and Kyogoku’s forces, but the war situation was deteriorating due to the betrayal of Hideaki. At the end Tamehiro attacked their enemy and died a heroic death. Tamehiro’s monument was built by his descendant, |
