Wachi no Morozane

Wachi no Morozane was a head of the Wachi clan, local warriors of Mitaki District in Bingo Province whose houses, with the Eda and other kindred families, were known as the Hirosawa-shū. During the Nanboku-chō wars the Wachi first served Ashikaga Tadafuyu when he based himself in Bingo.

In 1365 the shōgun Ashikaga Yoshiakira ordered Yamauchi Michitsugu and Yano to suppress Morozane at Hiramatsu Castle. By 1367 Yoshiakira had ordered Michitsugu to join Morozane against Yano and Ōta Bizen.
