In Defense of Imagawa Yoshimoto

Imagawa Yoshimoto is a complex figure who often gets overshadowed or outrageously misrepresented. In actually, he was a very important Daimyo who's decisions would come to play a heavy role in the shaping of eastern Japan during the Sengoku Jidai. In fact, he may have even been the best choice to restore peace to the nation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sources: "Tokugawa Ieyasu" by Stephen Turnbull "Samurai Battles" by Michael Sharp The Japanese Wiki Corpus: https://www.japanese-wiki-corpus.org/...
