		During the Edo period, Satsuma was prevented from having a national role because the domain fought against the Tokugawa at the battle of Sekigahara in 1600.

		On October 21st, 1600 the decisive battle of Sekigahara took place, a conflict that was to mark the end of decades of civil strife in Japan, and it was to also usher in a new shogun with a power strong enough to unify all of Japan.
		Sekigahara also established Tokugawa Ieyasu as ‘hegemon’ over all of Japan, and three years later in 1603 he accepted the title of shogun from the Emperor.
		Sekigahara Village is not that significant to the battle but would be nice to have on the tabletop if you can manage it.

	The Battleground at Sekigahara
		On the fateful night of October 20, 1600, Ishida Mitsunari - commander of the 'Army of the West', made the decision to withdraw his forces from Ogaki castle to defend the narrow pass at Sekigahara against the advancing 'Army of the East'.
		The village of Sekigahara lay straddled along the Nakasendo, but at the junction with the Ise road running south, and the Hokkoku road running to the north-west.
		Tokugawa's battle line seems, in fact, to have been drawn up somewhat haphazardly, running through the village of Sekigahara itself, and with the greatest weight of forces placed toward the northern flanks of the valley.

		The kamon from Plate 7 to the end (including the unattested examples) belong to generals and daimyou present at the battle of Sekigahara in 1600.
