He was a samurai from the start of the Sengoku Jidai.
I'll give more clues after other people guess.

Re: Name that historical figure!
again, not an easy one.. I've identified few possible names for important characters of the early Sengoku period, but none of them is a "samurai" in the strict sense (Daimyos, generals)

Another Hint: The name he is known by was actually his Buddhist name.

Re: Name that historical figure!
No one even guessed so...
Another hint then:
He was a baron from the Kanto Region who served one of the Uesugi clans.

Re: Name that historical figure!
Okay I guess this is the last hint I can really give.
He was not known for any battle in particular but he built great castles which were still used a century later when the Hojo clan conquered the Kanto Region.

Re: Name that historical figure!
No way I can get it; you have given plenty of hints, thanks, but it's still obscure to me; I managed to find enough info about the "later Hojo clan" and all the castles they controlled, but info about the original builders are scarce, if not totally absent. I also found a nice website with some info on Japanese castles http://www.japanese-castle-explorer.com, but well I'm still not able to identify that man, sorry

Another Hint: Specifically he was one of the first builders of Edo Castle. What would become the center of the Tokugawa Shogunate, and today is the center of the Imperial Palace.

Ōta Dōkan ?
he seems to be fitting with all your hints
ps he seems to be depicted always wearing that particular hat, is that related to Buddhism?

Re: Name that historical figure!
It is Ota Dokan but that is just his outdoor hat. Maybe because he was a Buddhist he shaved his head or something.
As can be seen here the scene comes from a famous apocryphal story:

As the story goes Ota Dokan and his attendant were out hunting when it started to rain. He went to a rundown inn and asked a maid if he could borrow a raincoat. The maid said out a poem “The mountain roses enrich our house with flowers, yet there is sadness here, for those riches are an illusion, and our flower has no fruit.” and gave him flowers instead, then bowed down in reverence. Ota Dokan did not understand this so he asked his attendant what it meant. The attendant said that they were poor and did not have a raincoat to let him borrow, so she gave him flowers to apologize.
