 Hometown Homepage - Okazaki Look Back a Bit   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Ieyasu was born as the son of the warlord Matsudaira Hirotada in Okazaki Castle in 1542.
At that time, the Matsudaira family, head of the small Okazaki clan, was caught in the middle between the feuding warlords Imagawa Yoshimoto (of Sumpu Castle) to the east and Oda Nobuhide, the father of Oda Nobunaga (of Owari Castle) to the west.
To maintain a balance between these two big powers, Ieyasu was taken as a hostage to the Imagawa family at the age of six, but while traveling to Sumpu Castle, he was kidnapped by the Oda forces.

 Tokugawa Ieyasu
The Takeda occupied Suruga and it may be that Ieyasu regretted his dealings with Shingen, for even before Shingen had taken Sumpu, Ieyasu was sheltering Ujizane and promising to restore his lands to him.
Retreating to Sumpu in Suruga province, he supervised the expansion of Chiyoda (Edo) Castle and the expansion of the surrounding town over the next few years, and conducted diplomatic business with the Dutch (1609) and Spanish, with whom he distanced Japan.
More then anything else, though, Tokugawa Ieyasu was a man who seemed to have a sweeping vision and the ability to live his life as a master of Go might win a game-slowly but steadily, and with no doubt in the outcome.

 Tokugawa Ieyasu
Throughout the remainder of that decade and those that followed, he expanded his family holdings, particularly at the expense of the Imagawa family which had begun to unravel as a result of poor leadership.
Ultimately, Tokugawa established his headquarters at the town of Sumpu where he had himself been held as a hostage.
During this period, he worked to support the pre-eminent daimyo Hideyoshi and, as a result, was awarded the fiefdom of the Hojo family, whom Tokugawa had starved into submission.

 Japan for Sustainability(JFS) - Towerd a Century of Japanese Value
Ieyasu's Sumpu Castle and the Sengen Shrine built by the third Tokugawa shogun Iemitsu were massive undertakings that drew the best woodworkers, carvers and lacquer artisans from all over Japan, many of whom remained in Sumpu (today known as Shizuoka City) for the rest of their lives.
This is what stimulated the sashimono joinery craft that is the special pride of Sumpu, which in turn gave rise to a variety of crafts and industries including furniture, butsudan altars, built-in furniture, geta wooden sandals and even pianos.
In fact, one of the crafts borne of the sashimono woodworking joinery techniques was the making of wooden model toys, which are of course the precursor of today's plastic model kits.

Following the death of two of his sons and a suspicious fire at Sumpu castle believed to be due to arson, he decided to take no chances.
From 1610 he built an enormous new castle in Nagoya ensuring a domain of great wealth and security would guard the eastern approaches to the pass of Sekigahara, both the Tokaido and Nakasendo highways, and the vast rice production area of the Owari plain.

Conditions at Sumpu were more settled, and Ieyasu was trained in the military and governmental arts and developed a great love for falconry.
In 1560 Imagawa was slain during a battle with Oda Nobunaga, a powerful neighbour to the west, and young Ieyasu seized the opportunity to return to his family's small castle and assume control of his surviving relatives and vassals.
In 1603 the powerless but prestigious Imperial court, which over the years had dutifully assigned Ieyasu titles that reflected his growing power, appointed him shogun (generalissimo), thereby acknowledging that this most powerful daimyo in Japan was the man officially authorized to keep the peace in the emperor's name.

The invading soldiers also put three of Choson's four historical archives to the torch, reducing volumes of governmental records and rare books to ashes, including the official records of the reigns of the Yi dynasty kings.

The destruction was so widespread that there is hardly a building standing in Korea today, except those made of stone, which antedates the Japanese invasions of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
