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.
He was the head of Kumamoto Domain. He was a patron of the martial artist Miyamoto Musashi. 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.
Tadatoshi"s grave is in Kumamoto.
