Biography
editTachibana Tadashige was born on July 7, 1612, as the fourth son of Tachibana Naotsugu and the daughter of Tsukushi Hirokado, Eiun-in.[4] On the day of his birth, Tadashige was adopted by his uncle Tachibana Muneshige, who had no children of his own.
Coming of Age and Early Career
editIn 1622, at the age of 11, Tadashige underwent his coming-of-age ceremony on December 27. This ceremony took place in the presence of Tokugawa Hidetada[5], who conferred upon him the name Tadashige and presented him with a sword named "Sadamune". By 1629, Tadashige had effectively begun managing the affairs of the domain in place of his adoptive father, who was stationed in Edo as a member of the shogun’s entourage. Tadashige was appointed to the Junior Fifth Rank, Lower Grade, and the title of Sakon Shōgen. He then married Nagai Naomasa's daughter, Nagako-hime, on November 3.
Service for the Shogunate
editIn 1634, Tachibana Tadashige accompanied Tokugawa Hidetada to Kyoto. In 1637, he inherited his territory and joined the battle during the Shimabara Rebellion[6]. On December 18, he participated in the assault on Hara Castle under Ujikura Shigemasa's command. During the final assault in January 1638, Tadashige joined the forces attacking from the beach side and captured the San-no-maru and set fire to the Honmaru. The next day, Tadakatsu stormed into the Tsume-no-maru (Honmaru) and successfully captured the castle.
Retirement and Death
editIn 1638[7], he succeeded his uncle Tachibana Muneshige as the second lord of Yanagawa Domain, focusing on governance. In 1640, he received the sword of Enju Kunitoki from Tokugawa Iemitsu. In 1641, he was awarded the title of Jushi-no-jo, and in 1642, he received permission to renovate Yanagawa Castle. In 1644, he married Nabehime, the daughter of Date Tadamune, with Iemitsu's approval. In 1646, he enshrined the Tōshō-gū[8] at Eikoji Temple. During Shogun Ietsuna's reign, he served as Chamberlain and changed his title to Hidamari. He played a key role in calming the Date Disturbance. In 1664, he retired and passed on leadership to his son Tachibana Akitora, adopting the name Koyuki. He died in 1675 at aged 64 and was buried at Tokuninji Temple in Edo. His Buddhist name was Betsuhoin Don Chugan Koyuki Dai Koji.
