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.
