		Guessing that the matron of the castle, Hideyori's mother Yodo-gimi, was a weak link that could be exploited, Ieyasu ordered that her location be determined and cannon fire directed in that area.
		Hideyori, who had probably never wanted a war with a man he had grown up considering an uncle in the first place, agreed and ordered his followers to stand down.
		His worries for the health of his granddaughter (Hideyori's widow) when she fell after the fall of Osaka Castle is touching in that one can see no real motive other then grandfatherly concern.

	The End Game
		Hideyori, now in his early twenties, faced a battle-scarred warrior in his early seventies determined to put an end to the pro-Toyotomi faction.

	Yodo-Dono (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Lady Yodo moved to Osaka Castle and with her son Hideyori, plotted the restoration of the Toyotomi clan.
		She was also sometimes considered an obnoxious woman who bewitched Toyotomi Hideyoshi, took over the rightful place of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's wife, and tried to manipulate the Toyotomi clan for her gains, indirectly leading to its demise.
		As Lady Yodo—being the guardian of the young Toyotomi Hideyori—was the virtual ruler of the Osaka Castle and the Toyotomi clan, she having a bad image would have helped justify Tokugawa's military actions against Osaka.

		Sieges of Osaka Castle- There were 2 campaigns in 1614 and 1615 in which Tokugawa Ieyasu destroyed Toyotomi Hideyori, the son of Hideyoshi, thereby eliminating the most serious potential challenge to the shogun ate Ieyasu had established in 1603.

	The edo
		The Toyotomi progress was almost leisurely, especially since the only real Shimazu resistance would come at the Sendai River on 6 June, and this was in essence a show of simple defiance by the proud Shimazu warriors.
		Toyotomi Hideyoshi was truly a remarkable figure, an anomalous character in the pageant of Japanese history that continues to provoke debate and study.
		All of these tend to distract us from a clear and well-rounded picture of Toyotomi Hideyoshi the man. Hideyoshi is often portrayed as a hero, a shining figure and the progenitor of a golden age.

	Date Masamune
		Date Masamune, as a vassal of Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1537-1598) and then the first Tokugawa shogun, Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543-1616), added greatly to the lands held by the Date family (including the huge and rich Sendai domain).
		Tokugawa had been one Toyotomi’s most senior generals and had instigated the new civil war by moving to take control of Japan for himself rather than keeping the promise he had made to Toyotomi to serve his 5 year old son, Toyotomi Hideyori (1593-1615).

		the Toyotomi carried out the central sacred project of the post-Hideyoshi era: the deification of Hideyoshi and the creation of Toyokuni Shrine (also read by some as the Hôkoku Shrine), the grand Shinto complex in which he was worshipped.
		The Toyotomi hoped the Momoyama audience would appreciate all of these projects in the impressive terms in which they were proclaimed.
		The Toyotomi showed that it well suited a ruling clan to worship its progenitor-turned-god, and to sponsor the sacred realm; no family pursued this path as single-mindedly, nor—at least until 1614—as successfully, as the post-Hideyoshi Toyotomi.
