		Kobayakawa Takakage (1532-97) served as a general to Toyotomi Hideyoshi who unified Japan at the end of the sixteenth century.
		During a campaign on the island of Kyushu in the 1580s he was camped on Mount Hiko, when suddenly through the mists appeared this tengu, dressed as a yamabushi, demanding sternly to talk to the general whose army had disturbed him.
		The novelty of Yoshitoshi's design is to show us the view looking down through the parting of the mist to see Kobayakawa, seated for debate, and his astonished companions.

	Môri Terumoto
		The Môri's traditional rival, the Amako clan, had been destroyed in 1566, and Motonari had left instructions that the clan be content with what it had and forego expansionist adventure.
		In 1575 the Môri and the Ukita of Bizen had allied and Takakage and Ukita Naoie brought down the Mimura family of Bingo, extending Môri influence there; similar advances were made on the northen Chugoku coast even as Motoharu clashed with Amako adherants under Yamanaka Shikanosuke.
		As frustrated as the Môri may have been by their discovery of the truth, they did not break the truce, and in time became Hideyoshi's closest supporters.

		Luckily, Ieyasu's retainer band contained a number of skilled administrators, and these continued the work of consolidating the new Tokugawa domain even as their lord was away on Kyushu.
		Ieyasu's ace in the hole, however, was knowledge that Kobayakawa Hideaki intended to betray Ishida during the battle, and the knowledge (provided by Kikkawa Tsunie) that the Môri (who had been insulted by Ishida) were none too eager to fight.
		By that late afternoon, the Battle of Sekigahara was decided and Ieyasu was able to view the many heads taken and also to greet his son Hidetada very icily when he finally arrived.
