Battle of Suriagehara (Fukushima Prefecture)

June 5, 1589(July 17, 1589 in the Gregorian calendar), the Battle of Suriagehara, a major battle between the Date clan (Date Masamune) and the Ashina clan (Ashina Yoshihiro), broke out at Suriagehara (present-day Bandai Town and Inawashiro Town, Fukushima Prefecture).

Date Masamune won this battle, took control of Aizu Kurokawa Castle, and established his dominance over southern Oshu

Meanwhile, having lost Aizu, Ashina Yoshihiro took refuge with his family, the Satake clan, in Hitachi Province (present-day Ibaraki Prefecture), but this marked the beginning of the decline of the prestigious Ashina clan, which had existed for approximately 400 years
