Fall of The Imagawa Clan
After Yoshimoto's death Imagawa Ujizane was attacked by Shingen and Ieyasu. Ujizane later retaliated at the Takeda army by stopping supplying them with salt. This had little effect because Uesugi Kenshin took the opportunity to sell salt to the Takeda, and only resulted in the downfall of the Imagawa clan. Like his father he also enjoyed playing Kemari and poetry.

Famous quotes containing the words fall and/or clan:
“Neither by night’s ancient fear,
The parting of hat from hair,
Pursed lips at the receiver,
Shall I fall to death’s feather.
By these I would not care to die,
Half convention and half lie.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“It has now become the doctrine of a large clan of politicians that political honesty is unnecessary, slow, subversive of a man’s interests, and incompatible with quick onward movement.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
