Matsu Uji

Matsu Uji was a young daimyo of the Lion Clan. He married Shosuro Sushanhime out of love instead of duty. His wife convinced Uji's karo, Sojuno, to kill his lord, but their plot was discovered by a maid, which led to the deaths of Uji, his wife and the karo.

The tragedy of Uji's life was depicted in Matsu Sinoku's play Mercy, although the play was written from the preposterous point of view of his wife.
