稲葉一鉄
One of the Three Men of Western Mino, an uncompromising veteran said to be the origin of the word “ittetsu”
Description
Inaba Ittetsu (1515-1589) was a Sengoku-period warlord known as the foremost of the Three Men of Western Mino (Inaba Ittetsu, Ujiie Bokuzen, and Andō Morinari). Originally he served Saitō Dōsan and Yoshitatsu, but later submitted to Oda Nobunaga. He was known for a stubborn, principled character so strong that he is said to have given rise to the word “ittetsu” (single-minded stubbornness). As a long-lived veteran commander, he was active across the Nobunaga and Hideyoshi regimes. He was also a cultivated man well versed in the tea ceremony, Noh, and medicine.
