Ieyasu, the legendary figure in Japanese history, left an indelible mark on the nation. As depicted in the Map of Japan in Provinces during his time, he skillfully unified a fragmented land. The Plan of the Battle of Sekigahara showcases his strategic brilliance as he emerged victorious on October 21st, 1600. Another testament to his military prowess is seen in the Plans of both Osaka campaigns; first in winter 1614 and then summer 1615. Nikko holds great significance for Ieyasu's legacy. A Dutch Lantern at Nikko Tosho-gu Shinto Shrine illuminates his spiritual connection to this sacred place. The Tomb of Iyeyasu Tokugawa stands tall since its creation by John La Farge in 1888, symbolizing eternal reverence for this influential leader. The Temples at Nikko serve as pilgrimage sites where devotees pay homage to Ieyasu's memory and seek blessings from above. His tomb remains a focal point attracting visitors who climb ancient stone stairways like those captured by Underwood & Underwood photographers in their stunning images from early 20th century Japan. Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu was not only a masterful ruler but also a visionary who brought peace and prosperity to Japan during his reign. This fact is highlighted by various historical artifacts such as maps illustrating key campaigns like Sekigahara along Tokaido & Nakasendo routes.
