Imagawa Ujizane

1538–1615 · 16th century

Imagawa Ujizane was a Japanese daimyo, son and heir of Imagawa Yoshimoto. After his father's death at Okehazama in 1560 he lost the loyalty of his vassals, and in 1568 and 1569 Takeda Shingen took Sunpu and Tokugawa Ieyasu forced his surrender at Kakegawa Castle, ending the Imagawa as a power. He lived on as a poet and later served the Tokugawa as an expert in ceremony.
