Sekigahara 1600

In the 16th century, Japan went through one of the most tumultuous periods in its history, the Sengoku Jidai, the "Age of Warring States" or rather the "Warring Kingdoms."

The Battle of Sekigahara took place on October 21, 1600, in Japan and is considered one of the most important battles in Japanese history. It pitted two rival factions against each other: the Eastern forces led by Tokugawa Ieyasu and the Western forces led by Ishida Mitsunari, in a day-long battle.

The Eastern forces consisted of samurai from various clans, including those of Tokugawa, while the Western forces comprised samurai from the Mori, Shimazu, Ukita clans, and others. In total, about 160,000 men (both combatants and non-combatants) participated in the battle, which unfolded on a vast plain near the town of Sekigahara.
