In the summer of 1615 , Toyotomi Hideyori 's Western Army moved to attack Asano's castle at Wakayama. Though most of Asano's forces were at Ōsaka, sieging Toyotomi's fortress, the remaining garrison outnumbered the Western warriors, and Asano led his men in sallying forth to meet the enemy in the Battle Of Kashii . Asano also fought in the Battle Of Tennoji , the decisive final battle in the siege of Ōsaka, where he commanded Tokugawa's rear guard. In 1619 , he was granted the fief of Hiroshima, in Aki Province , which would come to be the home of the Asano Family for many generations. REFERENCES
