The Battle of Sanadamaru (真田丸の戦い, Sanadamaru No Tatakai) was one of the battles during the Winter Siege of Osaka, which took place in 1615 as part of the Siege of Osaka between the Toyotomi clan and the Tokugawa shogunate. The fighting did not only take place in Sanada Maru, but also on the entire southern side of Osaka Castle.

Background

In November of 1614, Tokugawa Ieyasu led around 164,000 men to Osaka. The Winter Campaign of the Siege of Osaka began on 19 November, when Ieyasu led 3,000 men across the Kizu River, destroying the fort there. A week later, The Battle of Imafuku began, where he led 1,500 men, against a defending force of 600, which he won. Several more small forts and villages were attacked before the siege of Osaka Castle itself began on January 3rd.
