According to English language sources, he was taken hostage when he was six years old by Oda Nobuhide, the leader of the Oda clan, and held for three years at the Manshoji Temple in Nagoya. Following the death of Oda Nobuhide, he was handed over to the Imagawa clan at Sampu and lived there until he was fifteen years old.<BR/><BR/>You are correct that Tokugawa Hidetada was also held hostage as a child by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, from the time he was eleven to the time he was fifteen.<BR/><BR/>However, English language sources are not particularly good in relation to Japanese (or more generally, Asian) history. If you know differently, I would appreciate hearing about it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16377117761292204691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8288183.post-1148039102966558122006-05-19T07:45:00.000-04:002006-05-19T07:45:00.000-04:00Very Nice comparison between Tokugawa and Jefferso...Very Nice comparison between Tokugawa and Jefferson. I noticed you talked about Tokugawa's childhood of being held captive. Did you research that? I think that was Tokugawa Hidetada not Tokugawa Ieyasu. ;) But good comparison of Ieyasu's creed and Jefferson's ideals.Akiratimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05585707893126619171noreply@blogger.com
