Daimyō

At the death of his father, he became daimyō of Mutsu Province.

In 1536, he promulgated the Date provincial code (Jinkaishū).[2]

Tanemune's attempt to have Uesugi Sadazane, the childless head of the Uesugi, adopt Sanemoto and make him his heir, sparked a civil war within the Date known as the Tenbun War (天文の乱) from 1542 to 1548 which resulted in Tanemune's replacement as clan head by his eldest son, Harumune.[3][4]
