Nasu Sukeharu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nasu Sukeharu (那須資晴? 1557 - August 7, 1610) was a succeeding head to the clan of Nasu throughout the latter Sengoku Period of Feudal Japan. Being the son of Nasu Suketane, the former allowed Sukeharu to succeed him at some initial time, forcing the latter to handle an established rivalry with the Utsunomiya and that of the Satake. Now presently being a respective warlord daimyo within the province of Shimotsuke, Sukeharu started by enforceably subdueing the Senbon family, and then consecutively clashed against his rivaling clans up until the time period at which Toyotomi Hideyoshi came into power, subsequently granting Sukeharu the castle of Fukuwara around the late 1580's. This domain being equipped with a moderate 20,000 koku fief, Sukeharu was still not placed under the influence of Hideyoshi, and followed by rationally assisting Tokugawa Ieyasu's Western Army during the Sekigahara Campaign of 1600. Sukeharu's fate following this period in time is unknown, but it can be naturally expected that Sukeharu's fief level was increased by consequence of his assistance to Ieyasu, in which he would pass on to his son: Sukekage.
