Imagawa Ujizane

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In this Japanese name, the family name is Imagawa.

Imagawa Ujizane (今川氏真, Imagawa Ujizane^? 1538-1614) was a Japanese warlord, the son of Imagawa Yoshimoto. He was the father of Imagawa Norimochi and Shinagawa Takahisa.

After Yoshimoto's death Imagawa Ujizane was attacked by Shingen and Ieyasu. Ujizane later retaliated at the Takeda army by stopping supplying them with salt. This had little effect because Kenshin Uesugi took the opportunity to sell salt to the Takeda, and only resulted in the downfall of the Imagawa clan. Like his father he also enjoyed playing Kemari.
