Hosokawa Tadaoki was a samurai and tea master who fought for Tokugawa Ieyasu at Sekigahara in 1600. His wife, the Christian Hosokawa Gracia, died rather than be taken hostage by Ieyasu's enemies. He was rewarded with Buzen province, where he built Kokura castle, and was a leading disciple of Sen no Rikyū.
