However, there is a legend that Ieyasu was killed in Sakai and, in Nanshu-ji Temple in Sakai City, there exists a tombstone inscribed with his name, but this is a legend created later at the time of Osaka no Eki (the siege of Osaka).
なお、堺で討たれたと言う伝説も存在し、堺市内の南宗寺には彼の名前が刻まれた墓が現存するが、実はこれは後の大坂の役の際に生まれた伝説である。
