Ujitawara (宇治田原町) is a town in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. During the Sengoku period, it was situated in Little Leaf Glade in the Yamashiro province.
History
By the 15th century, tea fields were planted in Ujitawara due to the exceptional conditions of sunlight, soil, and humidity. In the 16th century, with the progression of the tea ceremony among the great lords, the town became more well-known, especially due to the influence of Sen no Rikyū. The town and its fields were known to have the best tea varieties, which led to a newfound profession of tea merchants.[1]
In 1582, the Kakushiba ikki members Fujibayashi Naoe and Yasuke ventured to Ujitawara to find Tokugawa Ieyasu. There, Naoe caught sight of Ieyasu's men and Igan shinobi fighting against a battalion of Akechi soldiers. Aiding her fellow Igans, she defeated the Akechi warriors before she and Yasuke met with Ieyasu. The lord thanked them for their aid before discussing the next steps after Oda Nobunaga's death.[2]
Ieyasu also revealed that his associate Hattori Hanzō would be arriving shortly, mentioning that he would be relieved to see that Naoe had survived the attack on Iga. When Naoe asked why he did not help Hashiba Hideyoshi, Ieyasu stated that he would not contribute to the onslaught of "wolves tearing each other apart" and would be a fox waiting to ensure peace across the land. Once Hanzō arrived, Naoe went to speak with him while Ieyasu left with his Igan shinobi. In private, Naoe and Hanzō discussed recent events, including the death of Naoe's father.[2]
Hanzō told Naoe to abandon the path her parents had left behind, but she refused. Hanzō then revealed that this path had killed her parents and that the boxes they had safeguarded brought only suffering. When Naoe unsheathed her Hidden Blade and demanded answers, Hanzō told her to look for a kofun for the answers she sought. Before leaving, he also stated that if Naoe ever pulled a blade on him again, he would kill her.[2] Not long after, Naoe and Yasuke departed Ujitawara themselves, after establishing a kakurega in the area.[3]
