short of what he had hoped to gain. Conflict with Hideyoshi In 1583, he later allied with Shibata Katsuie and Takigawa Kazumasu to start a war against Hideyoshi, but while Nobutaka was surrounded at Gifu Castle by Nobukatsu, Katsuie lost the Battle of Shizugatake, also Kazumasu lost at Kameyama, and Nobutaka surrendered. Nobutaka was sent to Daimidoji at Noma, Chita county, in Owari Province where Minamoto no Yoshitomo had been assassinated at the end of the Heian period. Death Under pressure from Hideyoshi and Nobukatsu, he committed suicide. Two dates on 1583, June 19 and June 21 are given for his death. His waka composed before dying was as follows: 昔より 主を討つ身の 野間なれば Mukashi yori Shuu o Utsu Mi no Noma nareba 報いを待てや 羽柴筑前 Mukui o Mateya Hashiba Chikuzen It is a vengeful poem that would be translated as, You had killed the one you had served / may the gods strike you down, Hashiba Hideyoshi.
