Daimyo of Kiyosu in Owari

Fukushima Masanori

福島正則

A young retainer of Hideyoshi who distinguished himself in the 1583 Shizugatake War and later became a daimyo based in Kiyosu in Owari. Grouped with Katō Yoshiaki and Wakizaka Yasuharu as one of the 'Seven Spears of Shizugatake,' the three were not necessarily the same 'military merit faction' under Hideyoshi's regime, and differed in domains, retainer bands, and relationships with ships and ports. After Hideyoshi's death, political choices must be traced not from Shizugatake military achievements but from subsequently formed domains, military roles in Korea, and evaluations by magistrates and military inspectors.
