Furuta Shigekatsu
Furuta Shigekatsu (古田 重勝; 1560 – July 20, 1606)[1] was a Japanese samurai of the Sengoku period of Japan. He fought under Toyotomi Hideyoshi at the Siege of Odawara Castle and in the Bunroku Campaign in Korea (1592–1593). As a reward for his efforts, he received Matsuzaka (37,000 koku) in Ise.[2] He was the first daimyō of that region.
In 1600, he sided with Tokugawa Ieyasu and fought in the Battle of Sekigahara.[2] He survived, and was awarded adjoining territories that include present-day Tsu city, worth 55,000 koku. Furuta contributed stones for the construction of Edo Castle. He died while in Edo, in 1606.
