Matsunaga Hisahide facts!

I thought it might be fun to compile some of the information I have learned about Matsunaga Hisahide into one post. If anyone would like more information beyond what is summarized in this post, feel free to contact me, and I can provide you with more.

#1.) Hisahide was a retainer to Miyoshi Nagayoshi, also known as Chokei. Chokei’s heir Yoshioki died under mysterious circumstances, and it is theorized that Hisahide may have poisoned him. Additional deaths he may or may not have been involved in include three of Chokei’s brothers and possibly Chokei himself; thus, Hisahide was well on his way to living up to the idea of gekokujou, a term used to describe someone of lower status upheaving someone of higher status (1, 2)

#2.) After the Miyoshi heir’s death, the next clan head was too young to rule, so authority fell to the Miyoshi Triumvirate who were also manipulated by Hisahide to an extent. Together, they coordinated a siege attack in Kyoto that resulted in the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru's forced suicide (3). Hisahide also had conflicts with the Miyoshi Triumvirate that were further polarized by the arrival of Oda Nobunaga (Elison and Smith, 1981).

#3.) Hisahide is notorious in the annals of history for burning down the Todai-ji temple which contained the Great Buddha daibutsu-den. However, Missionary Luis Frois claims that Hisahide did not burn down Todai-ji, but rather, it was a Christian samurai who acted independently while the Miyoshi were stationed there. I, however, am a bit skeptical of this claim of his innocence since Hisahide had reasonable motivations to be involved in the incident (4; 5; Elison and Smith, 1981). This comprises the last of the “Three Evils” Nobunaga condemned Hisahide for - killing the shogun, revolting against his Miyoshi lords, and burning Todai-ji (6).

#4.) Hisahide occupied Shigisan Castle and built a castle of his own - Tamon Castle (Elison and Smith, 1981). An artist’s depiction of what Shigisan Castle may have looked like can be seen here. It was noted as being particularly steep and defensible (5). As for Tamon Castle, it is alleged that it contained Japan’s first tower keep, but I personally am uncertain as to the validity of this claim (4).

#5.) Hisahide was frequently invited to Noh performances and other ceremonies by Oda Nobunaga (5). It was allegedly after one such performance where Hisahide was in attendance that Nobunaga received word of his brother-in-law Azai Nagamasa turning against him. Hisahide advised Nobunaga to retreat away from Kyoto, and it is said that this was made possible by Hisahide convincing a castle lord in Omi to assist them with Hisahide being fully prepared to kill him should he refuse (7; 8).

#6.) Hisahide may not be quite the evil villain he is portrayed to be... Letters from Nobunaga indicate that his son Matsunaga Hisamichi was actually the troublesome one. Hisahide apparently offered Nobunaga gifts of swords to appease him when Hisamichi would do something that angered him. Hisamichi was also forced to cede Tamon Castle to Nobunaga (5). Additionally, Nobunaga had suspected the infamous Matsunaga revolt against him that resulted in Hisahide's death was instigated by Hisamichi (6). Because of this, Nobunaga is recorded as having executed two of Hisamichi’s sons in an attempt to force compliance (5). Different accounts exist regarding the manner of death of Hisamichi as well as his brother Kojiro, though it appears as though some of Hisahide’s descendants may have survived, with several political and military figures in modern-day Japan claiming Yamato Matsunaga ancestry.

#7.) The famous Sengoku Era physician Manase Dosan appears to have written a sex manual for Hisahide with the specific purpose of how to use sex to benefit one’s health (9). What interests me about this manual is that it has several passages devoted to how to best please someone with a clitoris/vagina.

#8.) Hisahide invited Jesuit missionary Gaspar Vilela to a debate with two respected scholars - the astronomer Yuuki Yamashiro-no-kami Tadamasa and the Confucian tutor Kiyohara Ekata. Gaspar impressed them so much that they converted to Christianity. Gaspar’s escort to the debate, Takayama Tomoteru, also converted, and he raised his son Ukon in the Christian faith. Ukon is currently in the process of potentially becoming a saint recognized by the Catholic church. Some accounts alledge that Hisahide also converted, but I think it is more likely he remained a member of the Nichiren sect of Buddhism despite any superficial Christian indications he may have given (10; 11; 12).

#9). Hisahide led attacks against the Tsutsui clan, the clan Shima Sakon served before entering the service of Ishida Mitsunari. (13). This in part led to the decline of the Tsutsui clan. After Hisahide’s death, the embittered clan head Tsutsui Junkei razed Tamon Castle in what many interpret to be an act driven by the motivation to erase any traces left of Matsunaga Hisahide (14).
