Kumaizasa / Hanbei TAKENAKA's Family Crest / Hanbei TAKENAKA's Family Crest is regarded as the best strategist in the Sengoku period. It is well known that only 16 people occupied the Inabayama-jo Castle, which was not easily attacked, in order to punish the arrogance of his lord Tatsuoki SAITO. He also left his famous castle without any regret and was not greedy to live in seclusion in the mountains of Omi. While he was living in seclusion, he was persuaded by Hideyoshi to become a member of the Shogunate, but in the Battle of Nagashino, he was aware of the positive movement of the Takeda army and rescued Hideyoshi from a difficult situation, and the battle to capture Harima was largely due to his resourcefulness. However, he was not strong in the beginning. He became very busy, and during the attack on Miki-jo Castle in Harima Province, he fell ill and died young at the age of 36.
