History being made (discovered). Its interesting that Sakon is always portrayed in games of the genre like a great warrior that Mitsunari did not derserve by his side.
Also, i remember reading once that besides getting out alive at Sekigahara, he even attended Mitsunaris execution (with no proof, of course).
It's true, there was a saying that there were two things too good for Mitsunari,...Sawayama Castle and Shima Sakon! I haven't heard of Sakon witnessing Mitsunari's execution, but I guess it is possible he was there incognito. Would have been quite a risk being there too, although he could have blended in with the crowd.
Are they likely to be able to establish definitively whether or not the remains are his?
I believe they might. it will take some time of course. but they might.
🤞
