Early Life
Ujizane was born in Sunpu; he was the eldest son of Imagawa Yoshimoto. In 1554, he married the daughter of Hōjō Ujitsuna as a means of cementing the three-way alliance between the Imagawa, Takeda, and Hōjō clans. Ujizane inherited family headship in 1558, when his father retired in order to focus his attention on the Imagawa advance into Tōtōmi and Mikawa Provinces.

“We can slide it
Rapidly backwards and forwards: we call this
Easing the spring. And rapidly backwards and forwards
The early bees are assaulting and fumbling the flowers:
They call it easing the Spring.”

“Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so. Aim above morality.”
