Mogami Yoshiaki was often portrayed as a “dark strategist” in historical dramas, but in recent years his reputation is changing.

After the battle of Sekigahara, he became the lord of a fief of 570,000 stones and contributed to the development of Yamagata by encouraging safflower cultivation, maintenance of the Mogami river shipping route, and maintenance of the Yamagata castle.
