("Hosokawa Tadatoshi" ) in ''Japan Encyclopedia'', p. 359; ( 細川忠利 ) at ''Nihon jinmei daijiten''; retrieved 2013-5-29.〕 He was the head of Kumamoto Domain. He was a patron of the martial artist Miyamoto Musashi. Having studied the Yagyū Shinkage-ryū under Ujii Yashiro, Tadatoshi wanted his guest, Musashi, to fight against the sword master of his fief, and see which style was the strongest. But Ujii, despite his full license in Yagyu Shinkage style, could not strike a single blow against him after numerous bout. Lord Tadatoshi took over, but he too was powerless against Musashi.

His grandfather was Hosokawa Fujitaka ==Gallery== File:Kumamoto Suizenji-jojuen22n4272.jpg|This tea retreat, which was established by Hosokawa Tadatoshi, remains a popular tourist attraction File:Statue of Hosokawa Tadatoshi.jpg|Statue of Hosokawa Tadatoshi at Suizen-ji Jōju-en 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hosokawa Tadatoshi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
