A number of actions he took in later life, including the executions of Hidetsugu and Sen no Rikyu, have caused some to question his mental stability after 1590, while others assert that his behavior was born of concern for the future (though this hints of scholarly revisionism at times).
He served notably at the Sieges of Osaka Castle and in 1640 was made a daimyô at Takatori with an income of 25,000 koku.
The Uesugi of eastern Japan (their domain at one point encompassed much of the Kanto region and Echigo Province) were descended from Fujiwara Yoshikado, a daijô-daijin in the 9th Century, whose descendant Shigefusa adopted the name Uesugi in the 13th Century.
