His origins are debated. He claimed to be a descendant of the Tachibana clan. His sons were Masatsura, Masatoki, and Masayoshi. In the Genko War (1331-1333), he served Emperor Go-Daigo and, in cooperation with Imperial Prince Morinaga, drew a large-scale shogunate army to Chihaya Castle in the Battle of Chihaya Castle, thereby contributing to the overthrow of the Kamakura shogunate by inciting rebellions throughout Japan. Also, under the Kenmu Restoration, he was appointed to the Records Office, the highest administrative body, and assisted the Emperor along with Ashikaga Takauji. After Takauji's rebellion in the En'gen War, he, along with Nitta Yoshisada and Kitabatake Chikafusa, took part in the Southern Court's army, but was defeated by Takauji's army in the Battle of Minatogawa and committed suicide. He was one of the heroes of the Kenmu Restoration. 【Nitta Yoshisada】1301-1338 A gokenin (vassal) and military commander from the late Kamakura period to the Nanboku-cho period. His real name was Minamoto no Yoshisada. He was the 8th head of the Nitta clan, a branch of the Kawachi Genji Yoshikuni lineage. His father was Nitta Tomouji, and his mother was from the Tokuda family in present-day Ishikawa Prefecture. His official rank was Shoshiinoge, Sakone no Chujo (Middle Captain of the Left Division of the Inner Palace Guards). 【Other】 ◎ We do not accept returns due to the buyer's circumstances, such as "it's different from the image," "the size doesn't fit," or "it's no longer needed," so please bid carefully.
