吉川経家
A Mori-side commander and lord of Fukumitsu Castle in Iwami. In 1581 he defended Tottori Castle against Hashiba Hideyoshi's starvation siege.
He held out hoping to last until the snows came, but the besiegers cut off every supply route and the food ran out. On October 25, 1581, he took his own life on condition that the people inside be spared. He was 35.
