Born in Owari Province (today’s Aichi Pref.), Maita Hirosada (?-1636) was a military general who lived between the late Momoyama Period and early Edo Period, serving for a time Toyotomi Hideyoshi. He also served as assistant to the honorable seppuku suicide (wrongly pronounced as ‘harakiri’ in the West),committed by Sen-no-Rikyu (1522-91), ending tea master’s tortuous death by beheading him. After the Battle of Sekigahara, Hirosada pledged loyalty to Tokugawa Ieyasu and, after the Winter and Summer Battles waged at Osaka Castle, became a member of Tokugawa Hidetada’s council, a group of officials who mainly discussed political matters with their master. He accompanied his masters Hidetada and Iemitsu during their official trips to Kyoto in 1615 and 1632 respectively.This letter is addressed to tea connoisseur and warlord Oda Uraku (1547-1621). In it Hirosada says that he will visit Uraku this night accompanied by one of his four sons and that there is no need for Uraku to dispatch a receiving party.
