Hatano Hideharu

Lord of Yakami

Hatano Hideharu (birth date unknown – 1579) was the last head of the Hatano, lords of Taki district in Tanba, and defender of Yakami Castle, a mountain fortress overlooking the Sasayama basin. Having submitted to Oda Nobunaga after 1568, he turned against him in 1576 and thwarted Akechi Mitsuhide's first campaign in Tanba. During the second, Mitsuhide besieged Yakami in 1578; the stronghold resisted for more than a year before falling in 1579. Handed over to the victor, Hideharu was executed at Azuchi together with his younger brother Hidenao, bringing the line to an end. Yakami, abandoned in 1609 in favour of Sasayama Castle, is today a national historic site.

Histoire & patrimoine

Yakami, Hatano fortress

Takajō-yama, the summit above the Sasayama basin, bears the enclosures that the Hatano developed in the sixteenth century after leaving their first castle at Okuya. During the second Tanba campaign, in 1578, Mitsuhide's army surrounds the stronghold, whose garrison holds out for about a year and a half before the fall in 1579. After the Hatano, the district passes to Mitsuhide and then to Maeda Gen'i; Yakami again becomes the seat of a domain in 1602, before being replaced by Sasayama in 1609.

Hatano Hideharu dans l’histoire

Surrender or ruse?

Sources disagree on Hideharu's end: one speaks of a surrender in the sixth month of 1579, the other of a capture by a ruse devised by Mitsuhide. All agree on the execution at Azuchi and the extinction of the line.
