Yoshitsugu Otani Japanese Symbols Charm

Ōtani Yoshitsugu (1558/1565 – 1600) was a Japanese samurai during the Sengoku period extending through to the Azuchi-Momoyama Period. One of Hideyoshi's followers, Yoshitsugu had a strong reputation in battle and military matters. He was also known for both his bravery and loyalty. Despite being in poor physical condition later in life, Yoshitsugu fought important battles alongside his closest allies and friends in whatever capacity he was able to. Yoshitsugu also suffered from leprosy, which further exacerbated his health issues. Yoshitsugu, and the Otani clan in general are one of the more ambiguous clans during this time because of a lack of sources around them.
