Why is Tokugawa Ieyasu so remarkable?!
Born at Okazaki Castle in Mikawa,
he was sent off as a hostage from a young age to protect his family.
Takechiyo…
For twelve years, from age six,
he studied the art of war.

How was he able to take control of the realm?!

Step 1: A period of trials and “learning” (Okehazama to Mikatagahara)
* Background and turning point
* Taking advantage of the chaos after Okehazama, he returned to Okazaki Castle and became independent from the Imagawa clan.
* He allied with his former enemy Oda Nobunaga and held that alliance for 20 years, until Nobunaga's death.
* His greatest defeat and its lesson
* In 1572, he suffered a crushing defeat to Takeda Shingen at the Battle of Mikatagahara and barely escaped with his life along with a handful of retainers.
* He had a portrait made of his own pitiful state (the “shikami-zo”), establishing a survival strategy of “never forgetting defeat and learning thoroughly from failure.”
* Enduring to protect the organization
* In 1579, on Nobunaga's suspicion, he suffered the tragedy of losing his wife and eldest son, Nobuyasu, yet continued to endure subordination in order to protect his house.
Step 2: A period of political maneuvering and building a foundation (Honnoji Incident to the age of Hideyoshi)
* Crisis management and strategic shift
* In 1582, at the time of the Honnoji Incident, he returned home safely via the Iga crossing.
* In 1584, at the Battle of Komaki-Nagakute, he won militarily against Hashiba Hideyoshi's army but lost the practical gains through Hideyoshi's political maneuvering (a peace settlement). He faced the reality that “you can win the battle but lose in politics.”
* Choosing practical gain and developing Edo
* In 1586, he deliberately bowed his head and became Hideyoshi's vassal.
* In 1590, he accepted the order to relocate to the Kanto region and carried out the development of Edo's infrastructure (flood control and land reclamation) in what had been marshland. In the end, he gained the largest and strongest territorial base.
Step 3: A period of unifying the realm and establishing the system (Sekigahara to the Ogosho era)
* Political groundwork and victory in the decisive battle
* After Hideyoshi's death in 1598, he defied the late ruler's will and advanced marriage alliances among the daimyo, expanding his allies.
* In 1600, at the Battle of Sekigahara, his advance maneuvering (promises of defection) succeeded, and he defeated the Western army in just half a day.
* Stabilizing the regime and the final elimination
* In 1603, he became Seii Taishogun and opened the Edo shogunate (at age 61).
* In just two years he handed the shogunate to his son Hidetada, making “hereditary Tokugawa succession” a fait accompli.
* In the Siege of Osaka in 1614–1615, he destroyed the Toyotomi clan, eliminating every last spark of trouble within his own lifetime (at age 74).
* In 1616, he passed away at the age of 75.
Step 4: Conclusion (why was Ieyasu able to win in the end?)
The reasons Ieyasu was able to overcome so many defeats and humiliations and build an Edo shogunate that kept the peace for about 260 years can be theorized as three factors:
* Learning from defeat (Feedback Loop)
* He made the great defeats, like Mikatagahara, his nourishment, and ran an improvement cycle so he never repeated the same failure.
* Thorough patience and pursuit of practical gain (Strategic Patience)
* Toward the strong, such as Nobunaga and Hideyoshi, he suppressed his emotions and bowed his head, putting the survival of his house above all.
* The advantage of time through longevity (Longevity & Persistence)
* He kept living long while his rivals passed away one by one, and seized the chance to make the final decision.
> Summary
> “Don't rush. Don't be in a hurry to win, and don't be finished even when you lose.” It is precisely this long-term way of living that was the essence of what carried Ieyasu to the position of ruler of the realm.

A time of great happiness!!!
