this is how mitsunari died In 1600, the Battle of Sekigahara was fought as a result of this political conflict. Mitsunari succeeded in organizing an army led by Mori Terumoto. But the coalition following Tokugawa Ieyasu was greater, and the battle resulted in Mitsunari's defeat.
After his defeat, he sought to escape, but was caught by villagers. He was executed by a particularly brutal decapitation in Kyoto, whereby he was buried up to his shoulders in the ground
and locals were invited to saw at his neck with a bamboo saw. After execution, his head, severed from his body, was placed on a stand for all the people in Kyoto to see. However, a rumor has it that after a few days, his head mysteriously disappeared[citation needed]. Other daimyo of the Western army, like Konishi Yukinaga and Ankokuji Ekei were also executed.
Kanetsugu's letter to ieyasu:
Kanetsugu Naoe:
My Lord Ieyasu, welcome to the battlefield. Did you get the letter I sent?"
Ieyasu Tokugawa:
"Oh yes, I enjoyed it very much. But it almost didn't reach me... Did you realize that you spelled my name wrong?
It's "Ieyasu Tokugawa," not "Villainous Swine Who Will Perish for His Dishonor." Perhaps you can remember that?"
I couldn't stop laughing after that!
Sucks mitsnari died. I really liked his personality. And the entire 4 amigos.
