Saitō Hajime
While on display at the Sanjō Ōhashi, Kondō's head was taken away from the bridge by Saitō Hajime, who would later ask the priest Sonku Giten to hold a memorial service for him. The head was taken by the priest when he moved to Okazaki, Aichi Prefecture, and buried in a small mound behind the Hozoji temple.
