#Samurai #History #Japan
A comprehensive video detailing the lives of the Seven Spears, especially during and after Sekigahara, would be very interesting.
Hot take: In an era that’s full of corruption, greed, violence and betrayal, Azai Nagamasa seems to be the only samurai in Sengoku Jidai who really upheld the Hollywood romanticized version of Samurai code. The thing about loyalty, respect, honor and sincerity. That’s why he chose to side with the Asakura against the Oda because he didn’t want to betray their centuries-long alliance, and look what this “samurai honor” got him.
Azai Nagamasa walked so that Tokugawa Ieyasu could run. Azai chose the honorable path and ended up as a skull in Oda’s dinner party. Ieyasu knew this so when the sh*t hit the fans, he choose the dishonorable path by killing his own wife and son to please Oda instead of being a good husband/father and stood up against the Oda clan to protect his family. But being a scumbag paid off though since he won the war and the world got to witness “Tokugawa shogunate” in the end.
This shogunate is as romanticised and glorified as Tokugawa himself by the official narrative and the media.
And considering that no good deed goes unpunished - especially within the samurai society - the way things went is not surprising.
For me, the most honorable samurai in Sengoku period must be Shikanosuke Yamanaka "The "Deer" who did everything he can to revive his master former clan, even though his long dead master descendant already given up to his fief.
Yamanaka could be a fool and a little bit "stupid" but on the same time he was honorable with his die hard loyalty.
@@hanchiman - It did not happen all the time, most bushi were very pragmatic because they had to be but samurai were capable of *INSANE* and admirable acts of loyalty, endurance and courage.
@@saymyname2417 Those with insane courageous act are mostly the warriors of the clan. For example, Honda Tadakatsu and II Naomasa, who mainly used “brawns” to serve their overlord Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Their overlord, however, just had to do everything using “brain” to get himself and his own clan on top. Betraying Imagawa, changing the wives like shampoos (one wife died, another shall take her place right away), betraying Oda (allegedly), fought against Toyotomi then submitted to Toyotomi, throwing Chosokabe under the bus multiple times, betraying Hojo, betraying Toyotomi, betraying Mori, poisoning Kiyomasa, cheating the deal by removing Osaka castle walls, mass murdering the entire population of Osaka (like Nanjing 322 years later). But at least, he managed to established a stable government for 265 years. Huge credit to him for that.
@@saymyname2417 I get you. Most samurai from historical perspective where scheming and backstabbers. Same can be said about European Knight although Chivalric knights mostly happen in say "fairy tales". Although there has been some honorable knights who doesn't kill farmers or have petty small war with other lords for an inch of land
Kato Kiyomasa, a brutal samurai who is a warrior thru and thru and didn't like being a "Tea Drinking Samurai". Beside everything that was mentioned in the video, he didn't really have a favorite sword as he preferred using Disposable sword from a specific brand called Dotanuki for it sturdiness and practicality. Thats sword took inspiration for a manga for Lone Wolf and Cub where the main protagonist use this sword.
Umm actually based on ttur history, Kiyomasa was overrated fraud
After extensive researches betwren facts & fictions.. His achievements in Shizugatake was Even questionable
Among those who followed Toyotomi from Shizugatake, perhaps only Fukushima Masanori and Kuroda Nagamasa worth to be mentioned as talented generals.
The rest, including Kato Kiyomada were actually not that great
@@arielquelme But he was praised during the Imjin war though for being really brave and repelled the counter attack from Koreans and later Chinese which at the time had an army considered as "Super Power" army in Asian region, although his claim of hunting tigers might be tall tales as he probably was hunting in a large groups.
The use of Kiyomasa's own words as a framing device was a brilliant touch
Btw haven't even watched the video yet but just gotta say, you have like, the most calming voice ever. Love the vids!
Totally agree.
Imagine him and Vaati doing a collab or narrating a nature documentary :D
I’m all honesty it’s like 50% of the reason I watch his videos
He havent watched yet he is deep inyo the creators dïck. Amazing
Right,so if you wonder who and what happened to the other six of the Seven Spears of Shizugatake:
Masanori Fukushima : probably the closest to Kiyomasa in terms of their achievements,manner and origin. great warrior,experienced commander,related to Hideyoshi through his mother,become Daimyo in his own right after being granted the former Mori territories,fought in Korea,sided with Ieyasu during sekigahara,stayed out of taking sides during the sieges of Osaka due to,in his own claim,ill health. He then got stripped off his titles and land because he breach the Buke Shohatto rules,where he repaired his castle without permission from the Tokugawa shogunate. He become some sort of example of the shogunate law as in bro,you don't mess with the Tokugawa shogunate's law,if even someone as illustrious and respected daimyo like Masanori can't get away from it,what chance do you have?
Hirano Nagayasu: i found little to no info about him beside his inclusion to the seven and he sided with Tokugawa during sekigahara. But interestingly enough,when he decided to fight on the Toyotomi behalf during Osaka,he got denied the chance to do so,for unknown reason.
Kasuya Takenori : a former Bessho clan retainer from Harima,he entered Hideyoshi's circle of retainer under Kanbei Kuroda's recomendation and granted a castle in Harima after Shizugatake,unfortunately he would lose it after siding with Ishida during Sekigahara.
Katsumoto Katagiri: formerly a retainer of the Azai. said to be a descendant of a long and storied clan that span all the way back to Heian period,where the Katagiri was a retainer under Minamoto clan. But funnily enough,he was said to be the slowest in terms of their rise among the Seven since Katsumoto is more of a courtly type of samurai rather than a warrior or bushi type. Nevertheless,the Toyotomi regime kept Katsumoto close,giving him land in Ibaraki area,nearby Osaka. It is unclear who he sided with during Sekigahara but he was the envoy and liaison between Hideyori and Ieyasu. Basically it is his job to keep those two in good terms but considering what happened next,unfortunately he failed at it. Katsumoto also served during the Toyotomi campaigns of Kyushu,Odawara and Korea mainly as comissioner role,in charge of supplies and such.
Kato Yoshiaki : unrelated to Kiyomasa,although they share the same surname,the Kato where Yoshiaki came from are from Mikawa,a former retainer of Matsudaira that was exiled after Yoshiaki's father,Noriaki rebelled against the Matsudaira alongside the Ikko-Ikki. hence a ronin,Yoshiaki then become Hideyoshi retainer. if Kiyomasa was such a good field marshal then on water Yoshiaki probably one of the best if not the best among Hideyoshi's retainer. Yoshiaki was part of Hideyoshi's naval attack on Shikoku island and eventually held lands in Iyo province. He's also part of the navy contingent during Odawara and the Korean campaigns undertaken by the Toyotomi regime. He sided with Ieyasu during Sekigahara and clashed against the Uesugi in Aizu province where Yoshiaki will then moved there after Sekigahara. during the sieges of osaka he stayed with the Tokugawa,despite the suspicion and fear they had,the same thing they saw Kiyomasa with,difference being,Yoshiaki was probably left alone to his own and not assassinated. further proof of how the Tokugawa shogunate trust in Yoshiaki was he then granted the confiscated land they took from Masanori Fukushima.
And last but definitely not least
Yasuharu Wakizaka : a former Azai and Akechi retainer. under the Akechi banner he took part during the invasion of Tanba province before switching sides to Hideyoshi,serving him during the Harima campaign. after Shizugatake,Yasuharu was also present during Komaki-Nagakute conflict and did well there,capturing the Iga province. In which he was rewarded the Awaji-Sumoto domain,in Shikoku and become a daimyo. Continued service under the Toyotomi include as naval commander during the Kyushu, Odawara and Korean campaigns. sided with Tokugawa during Sekigahara but remain neutral during the sieges of Osaka,made him and his clan as not quite loyal nor trustworthy in the eyes of the Tokugawa shogunate.
You should do Ishida Mitsunari’s top general Shima Sakon, I heard his life was a bit of a mystery
You know I would like to see an episode covering Konishi Yukinaga because I would like to see more about him and what he did.
Apparently, the Korean and Ming forces viewed his abilities as a general very highly and often tried to avoid combat with him.
@@MrGksarathy While Yukinaga did do quite a lot on Korea, Kiyomasa was feared a lot more-partly because of his brutality and partly because he went so far as to conquer his way through the entire peninsula and beyond (!).
Though IMO, the daimyo who should have been feared the most is Kobayakawa (Mori) Takakage. Man really lived up to his father Motonari’s standards in terms of being a military genius. He did take two major defeats in Korea (both against the same general, Gwon Yul), but they were all very hard-won affairs for the Koreans, and he also won several major engagements (Byeokjegwan being his crowning achievement in Korea).
Kato Kiyomasa...A Great Daimyo who is also feared in Korea during the Imjin War, often referred too as the Devil Kiyomasa since he was never defeated in the 1st Invasion but he never had the same luck in the 2nd Invasion...Especially when he was besieged at Ulsan.
Still, this is a brilliant biography of this legendary warrior.
My Kudos to you.
I thought the Japanese never lost a defensive siege during the entire war
When japanese soldiers are taking little girls as sex slaves yea, they should be feared
By the end of 2nd Invasion, the Japanese could no longer guarantee resupplying their forces on the Korean Peninsula since their fleet's inability to secure the sea routes made it impossible.
Kato Kiyomasa finds this out when the Korean-Ming Chinese forces not only besieged him at Ulsan but cuts his water supply and while he is able to emerge out of the siege victorious, it came at a cost. His force was virtually decimated due to lack of supplies, disease, fighting the Korean-Ming Chinese armies and pushed to the breakng point.
This led to a decline in morale among the Daimyo in the conflict until they finally escaped back to Japan but returns to a homeland which is about to erupt into a brief but decisive civil war that culminates at Sekigahara.
Fun fact: After returning to Japan, Kato decided that he never wanted a repeat of Ulsan so he decided to build Kumamoto as an insanely fortified castle with huge numbers of wells and various edible provisions that could be stored long-term.
Said castle actually did end up successfully repelling a 57-day-long siege centuries later during the Seian War.
Fun fact: After Hideyoshi died, they simply withdrew from the peninsula to fight for supremacy with the Tokugawa in the Japanese archipelago.
The ironic thing about him in Total War: Shogun 2 is that even though he is historically part of the Spears of Shizugatake, there is a Katana Cavalry named after him, Kiyomasa's Katana Cavalry, and it's a separate unit from the Spears of Shizugatake too
A man amongst men, a samurai amongst samurai.
"Katte kara kabuto no o wo shime yo."
"After the battle, tighten your helmet cords."
Calling Kiyomasa fierce would be an understatement.
There's no doubt he was the Toyotomi's greatest retainer.
Oh yeah! One of Hideyoshi's loyal retainer who has a beef with Mitsunari.
I’m now learning Japanese and planning a trip to Japan and I have to say thank you. Your channel is what got my interested in Japanese history and made me want to go there.
Im not a big fan of him just for the hate he displays about art and culture... but the video was amazing shogunate!! thank you!
This is what we want. Lore of individuals samurai .. amazing more and more
Not only the individual samurai, but I think the lore of the wives of three great unifiers are interesting as well.
@@nont18411 I agree as well.
There’s a question that has been in my mind lately.
Why did Oda Nobunaga trust Tokugawa Ieyasu so much that he made Ieyasu one of his greatest allies?
Like just look at the circumstances between these two
- Nobunaga claimed himself to be a descendant of Taira clan while Ieyasu changed his name from “Matsudaira” to “Tokugawa” to claim himself as a Minamoto.
- Owari (Nobunaga’s hometown) and Mikawa (Ieyasu’s hometown) had been at war for a long time before Okehazama.
- Ieyasu betrayed Imagawa Yoshimoto to join team Oda right away after Yoshimoto’s death.
- Nobunaga ordered Ieyasu to kill his own wife and son.
- Because of this, Ieyasu probably held a strong grudge against Nobunaga and said something that triggered Akechi Mitsuhide to launch a Honnoji mission (probably “your mom” joke to him).
My point is…why did Oda Nobunaga keep Tokugawa Ieyasu in his inner circle when everything about Ieyasu is a walking red flag that screams “I am a traitor” to him?
Nobunaga probably read one of those keep your friends close but your enemies closer. He just never realized one who said that probably didn't have friends to begin with or he wouldn't ever say that.
That keep enemies closer can be applied only if you plan to kill them so yo want to know where they are. There are no other uses
Copied from Japanesewiki:
'When he was young, he led a life with Takechiyo MATSUDAIRA (later Ieyasu TOKUGAWA) who was sent to the Oda clan by the betrayal of Yasumitsu TODA, who was kachu (family-related communities existing during the late Muromachi and the Azuchi-Momoyama periods) of the Matsudaira clan, on the way to the territory of the Imagawa clan as a hostage. Later they formed a strong alliance.'
For the Honnoji part, it's very likely Mitsuhide did it on his own accord, given how Nobunaga treated him.
Because it is very convenient. Allying with Ieyasu will gave Nobunaga freedom to go further west with Tokugawa guarding his eastern flank,at the same time Tokugawa is also freed to go further east to gobble up the territories held by the Imagawa,mainly Totomi and Suruga province. This union is also to counterbalance the threat posed by the expansionist Takeda clan which at the time when the Oda-Tokugawa alliance being established in 1562,had already controlled the two provinces of Shinano and Kai,with no signs of stopping anytime soon and already set their sights on other neighboring provinces,including on Suruga province too to their south,making them a threat to Tokugawa's cause.
And about Nobunaga ordering Ieyasu to execute his wife and children there's more layer to that.
First of all the wife,Lady Tsukiyama was an adopted daughter of Yoshimoto Imagawa and their union was under Yoshimoto's order to ensure Ieyasu's loyalty,which bore the couple one son,Nobuyasu and a daughter. now,this Nobuyasu was then wed to Tokuhime,Oda Nobunaga's daughter. These two had problem having child so Lady Tsukiyama suggest Nobuyasu to get a concubine. This naturally made Tokuhime mad and told Nobunaga about it. How's Ieyasu think of this? Well,for a start,it is said that Ieyasu don't really get along with Tsukiyama. she's quite a jealous,tempestuous and eccentric woman.on top of that,Tsukiyama was caught conspiring with the Takeda clan. possibly to ousted Ieyasu and put Nobuyasu in charge of the clan,the kid being half Imagawa as well could use that status to rally former Imagawa retainers to his side. At around this time too,Ieyasu took a concubine for his own,Lady Saigo,whom Ieyasu get along with very well and a politically savy woman herself by all accounts,she possibly had some weigh in over that decision as well,with Saigo gunning for that number one wife spot for herself too. so yea,considering all that,Ieyasu would have no qualm or even bore a grudge to get rid of Tsukiyama and Nobuyasu. Ieyasu's goal of that double execution is to show Nobunaga that he is serious about their alliance,that's one. Two,he got to completely sever any ties he had with the Imagawa. so i don't really bought into the theory of Tokugawa nudging Mitsuhide into the Honnoji incident because Nobunaga once told him to off his wife and firstborn son.
@@victorhino26 I said it because I have seen many Sengoku depictions in Japanese media lately portrayed that Ieyasu really held a strong grudge against Nobunaga for the double execution stuff, causing him to take advantage of the Akechi Mitsuhide’s situation (like being abused by Nobunaga all the time and losing his mom to Nobunaga’s scorched earth tactic) by saying something that pissed off Mitsuhide so much and insinuating Mitsuhide to rebel against Nobunaga. Not in the term of them conspiring together, but in the term of Ieyasu making fun of Mitsuhide’s predicament which planted the seed of rebellion in Mitsuhide’s mind while Ieyasu himself fled back to Mikawa to keep his “loyal to the Oda” image clean.
About Lady Saigo, yeah that’s possible. After all her manipulating Ieyasu into killing Tsukiyama and Nobuyasu paid off since her son Hidetada eventually became the second shogun after Ieyasu’s death. But that also came with a cost because Tsukiyama’s maid was furious with this and murdered Saigo via poisoning out of spite. Also, I think the whole Tsukiyama being an “insecure and jealous” woman is probably a Saigo propaganda (since Hidetada was the ruler of Japan, of course he would write something good about his mother and something bad about the lady that was once in her way), the same way Yodo-dono was so demonized by Tokugawa’s historians. The same way Okubo Toshimichi was demonized by pro-Saigo Takamori writers in so many movies especially the Last Samurai. The same way Minamoto no Yoshitsune started to get recognition as a tragic war hero who got betrayed by his meanie brother during Muromachi period as an anti-Kamakura sentiment.
@@michaelstark8720 to keep enemies closer means to befriend them. be especially friendly to those who have something against you, or who may threaten you, to turn them to your own side.
Kiyomasa is one of my favorites thank you!
One of Favorite Samurai ever! They should make a movie or Tv drama about him..Bioepic of his life..and Kato's Manchurian Campaign
the most brutal as he opened the womb of pregnant christian woman
In this video I learnt much about Kato Kyomasa, a fierce warrior and a brilliant general, who upheld his version of Bushido only to achieve legendary status as a feared warrior, deadly general, and conquerer of the mightiest beast that the Japanese ever set eyes upon at the time.
And I also learnt that the Tokuagawa were treacherous, up to the point of using underhanded tactics to avoid an open war who would have probably destroyed their forces or at least diminished it at the point of making them virtually easy prey, and that is why the Tokuagawa were also so paranoid, up to the point of sending shinobi to plant false treachery signs and/or forcing any daimyo who got a form of substantial power over a certain threshold to commit seppuku. And that is why they were so much hated, up to the point of the ENTIRE japanese people uniting to take down the Tokugawa and end their shogunate at ANY COST.
Such great work on these videos! Thank you
Thanks for your amazing videos❤
Great video. I learned a lot. Thank you
ty for your videos! they have made me very interested in this time period. I even started Nobunagas Ambition after seeing your reviews c:
great video. there is so much detail in the history of the sengoku period one could study just that for a decade
I’m really getting into these “the legend of” videos. Nice to see the stories of these great warriors
Now this was a really good video on a Legendary Samurai. Thank you for sharing this with everyone I hope they learned something new or old about him.
Really informative videoo❤❤
Such a fascinating figure and legendary aura kiyomasa had💯
Brilliant storytelling really enjoyed the narration with the illustrations and pictures. The best way to learn about samurai's and their history. Great work 👍
Don’t know how you ended up on my feed. But I’m glad it did. Awesome content on a magnificent time in Japanese history.
cep it up man and I am also excited for ep 4 of the edo series
After Katō Kiyomasa death, his son Katō Tadahiro, succeeded him as Higo no kami 肥後守 (provincial governor of Higo), but his fief (Kumamoto) was confiscated, and he was exiled (kaieki; attaindered) in 1632 by Tokugawa Iemitsu on suspicion of conspiring against him,[8] possibly with the likes of Tokugawa Tadanaga, who was ordered to commit seppuku in 1633.
Please make more vids like this!
You are by far the best source for japanese history of samurai. Most speak only of miyamoto musashi, though he was great, he was not the only one.
Absolutely fantastic! Sorry for being late with the like/comment, but more of these personal stories in the future would definitely count as interesting as well as most informative. :)
Good story you done a good job
You should do audio books, great job on the presentation! And excellent use of background music, images, and info!
Well, you have to give him one thing: Kato Kiyomasa certainly seemed to take his role as a Samurai very seriously.
I've been waiting years for this video fr
Your voice is so nice its like watching a cutscene keep it up king 👑 👍
Can you make a video about what is known about jiu jitsu in old Japan, if samurai actually trained anything similar to today and how was the daily life and training of a young and not so young samurai ? What lifestyle did they have
Another topic id love someone with a history background to explain is the role zen played for the samurai and why it was important, what do bonsai and so many Japanese concepts have to do with zen and if they connect to samurai and why
So hard to find good proper historical information about this in video format
Hi Mr. DeLaune... see u on Monday
can you talk about his life Sengoku Hidehisa
Please tell me you will do a video on Todo Takatora at some point!!🏯
A great video there I have liked Kiyomasa since Kessen 1 and loved playing as him and reading about him I enojyed listenig to all of his achievements, being a Tiger Hunter is cool, he was a brave general I have heard of Manchu I think u called it but am not exactly sure where it is, his rivalry with Konishi reminds me of 2 other Generals of China and there rivalry to outdo each other Deng Ai & Zhong Hui, it is a shame such a great general was to die of poison but it just goes to show how much Ieyasu feared Kiyomasa. Great job overall.
Cool
THIS IS MY FIRST TIME HEARING ABOUT HIM AND HE ALREADY BECAME MY FAVORITE SAMURAI THANK YOU FOR SHARING THE STORY OF THIS GREAT WARRIOR AND MANY OTHER GREAT WARRIOR'S,GENERALS, SHOGUNS LOVE THE STATION AND THE CONTENT KEEP IT COMING 👑👑👑👑💎💎💎💎🌏🌏🌏🌏
Seems pretty ok 👌🏾 who are the other spears?
Absolute legend. This era is ripe with colorful characters.
Actually, according to records, the anecdote of Kiyomasa hunting tigers were done by Kuroda Nagamasa
Please do a video on todo Takatora we share the same birthdays !
Perfect example of somebody being too loyal for their own good and not seeing the bigger picture.
Yup, and just being a monster.
Am I allowed to still like to video if I didn't found it "most informative"?
I mean, it isn't just informative "most" of the time.
The video is, in its entirity, informative!!
kato kiyomasa, who would tear apart the bellies of pregnant christian women to make sure the fetus is dead too
Yeah, I was waiting for that to get mentioned.
👑
Kiyomasa was not into collecting teapots or clocks I take it. 😊😆
“Quite suddenly, 2 years later”
Doesn’t seem that sudden
I want a sequel of Ghost Dog way of the Samurai where the assassin quotes from the precepts of Kato Kiomasa.
They poison him because they know he is gonna be a good mentor for young hideyori
What makes the ideal tiger
Ieyasu wasn't taking any chances with the poisoning.
8:40 looks like lord shimura from ghost of tushima
How much was Nichiren Buddhism an aspect of his personality?
As the self proclaimed president of the United states and the current showgun of all the world I approve of this video.
Watching this before the movie comes put
What movie?
That boy almost look like Madara with that fan in his hand LOL
I wonder how Kato dealt with the Jurchen? Two warrior people clashing like that must have been interesting.
Disaster. He massacred some jurchen village with the help of koreans but the jurchens army later cut off his supply where his army starved. Also most of his troops were from the warm south so he couldn't fight well in the cold siberian winter.
If Kato fought for the Toyotomi against the Tokugawa...
It’s actually unclear if Kiyomasa hunted tigers in Korea, as all the primary contemporary sources on samurai tiger hunts during the Imjin War don’t list him as one of the daimyo to have done so. The only supposed evidence for him hunting tigers is a supposed tiger skull he brought back as a trophy, but this is actually a leopard skull (leopards are not found only in the tropics as often assumed: the Amur subspecies lives in the same place as Siberian tigers and likewise lived throughout Korea until decades ago) based on its smaller size.
I suspect the myth of Kiyomasa as a tiger hunter came about because a) it was totally in-character for him to try to hunt tigers in melee combat (at the very least he tried that with a leopard and won), and b) because he wanted to inflate his already impressive accomplishments.
Well, it's probably just an anecdote from later generations and not a fact. There's no need to go out of your way to hunt tigers.
@@RR-pm8ie
A few other daimyo genuinely did hunt tigers during the Imjin War (and, unlike with Kiyomasa, we have primary documentation for this). So IMO it’s more likely Kiyomasa himself fabricated it, and people assumed it was true because it was in-character.
Oh thank gods. Still, slaughtering an innocent leopard, among all the other innocents he slaughtered, still makes him suck.
👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
great video but why not showing his treatment of korean civilian during imjin war and treatment of christian woman?
Don't know much about one piece, but i could definitely see a red skinned oni using it on some innocent farmers .
Maybe cover the Russo-Japanese war?
I became the 666th like at 14:50
Nice
If I were a low rank samurai, I wouldn't have joined Kiyomasa's troops at all, he was way too strict! I need some art in my life, thanks XD XD
And he decided to join that tanuki Ieyasu... I wonder if he later regretted that decision, given that he tried to protect Hideyori afterwards.
Are you going to make more videos like this? I want one about Sanada Yukimura (Nobushige).
Japan does not have Tigers, not even in the Zoo.
Well, that's why the lad decided to visit Korea for some tiger meat and fur
Too bc ad Kiyamasa and Konishi Yukinaga couldn’t get along during the Injin War. They may have been able to consolidate and withstand Chinese forces.
Disturbing fact about Kiyomasa He Aborted Pregnant Christian Women's Babies and cut off their heads Absolutely Barbaric
And people are wondering why Imperial Japan were so brutal in World War II, it had been like this for a long time. It’s in their samurai culture. They only got neutered for the last 78 years by the nukes and the treaty that prevent them from militarizing themselves. Just hope they won’t relapse again once they have their army back.
