For that reason, Kiyomasa served him very young and showed a courage on battle fields such as Shizugatake in 1583. During Korean campaign of 1592, his troops went up to Manchuria border. Gradually his relationships with Ishida Mitsunari became chilly. For that reason he was in Ieyasu's side during battle of Sekigahara. He strove in vain for a reconciliation of Toyotomi and Tokugawa clans. He died in 1611. | |
