Mizuno Katsushige
Mizuno Katsunari (水野 勝成) (1564–1651) was a Japanese samurai daimyō of the late Sengoku and early Edo periods.[1]
Daimyō[edit]
The son of Mizuno Tadashige, he served Sassa Narimasa in his younger years. He fought for Narimasa in Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Kyūshū Campaign in 1587.[citation needed]
He was a leader fighting with the Tokugawa forces (the eastern army) at the Siege of Osaka.[2] In 1615, the shogunate moved his fief from Kariya Domain in Mikawa Province to Kōriyama Domain in Yamato Province (60,000 koku); then in 1619, his fief was transferred to Fukuyama Domain in Bingo Province (100,000 koku).[1] In 1638, he led forces in the shogunate army which put down the Shimabara Rebellion in Kyushu.[3]
Death[edit]
In 1651, he died at Fukuyama Castle at the age of 88. His remains were interred at Kenchu-ji, the Mizuno family temple near Fukuyama Castle.
The line of his direct descendants ended in 1698.[1] In 1919, Katsunari was posthumously elevated to the lower third rank of the Imperial Court.
