explanation: After Toyotomi Hideyoshi had died in 1598, leaving a young child behind, a great power struggle took place soon. Tokugawa Ieyasu in east and Ishida Mitsunari in west, each tried to get a maximum number of allied lords by promising a great recompense. The battle took place on September 15, 1600 at Sekigahara between Shiga and Gifu prefectures. Because of a treason of Kobayakawa Hideaki, Ieyasu successfully defeated Mitsunari and opened a route to shogun's title.
