Patient architect of the Tokugawa shogunate, whose victory at Sekigahara ended a century of civil war and gave Japan more than two centuries of peace.
"Life is like a long journey with a heavy burden; let your step be slow and steady."
"If the cuckoo will not sing, wait for it."
Life is like a long journey with a heavy burden; let your step be slow and steady.
— Tokugawa Ieyasu
