The Mihata Kofun (美旗古墳) is a burial mound in the city of Nabari in Mie Prefecture, Japan.[1] During the Sengoku period, it was situated in the northern Nabari Wilds in Iga Province.
History
In 1569,[2] Fujibayashi Nagato began using the kofun to store the prized Yasakani no Magatama from the Imperial Regalia as part of his devotion and promise to his wife Tsuyu.[3]
In 1581, Oda Nobunaga led an invasion of Iga as part of his military conquests.[4] The Shinbakufu, having discovered the artifact's location and using Nobunaga's invasion as a cover,[3] sent Ido Yoshihiro to the kofun to retrieve the Jewel.[5]
Nagato, having been informed by Hattori Hanzō about the plan,[3] decided to send his daughter Naoe to retrieve the artifact and entrusted her with his Hidden Blade, which acted as a key to the chamber. However, Naoe was too late, as Yoshihiro reached the kofun at the same time, knocked her unconscious with his kanabō, and absconded with the Jewel.[5]
