Katô Kiyomasa and Toyotomi Retainers
Katô Kiyomasa , a retainer of Toyotomi Hideyosi and a Tokugawa general, was a ferocious fighter and often ruthless. He was a true warrior, nothing more, nothing less. He wrote to his followers later in his life that poetry and dancing were shameful pastimes for a samurai, and ordered anyone who found himself engaged in the latter to commit suicide. His cruelty and love of combat (for sport, he hunted tigers with a spear in Korea) earned him the nickname Kishokan, or, 'Devil General'.
Katô is pictured belowon horseback with a samurai from the Toyotomi clan together
with artillery manned by his own ashigaru. For details of these figures and
