In 1585, prior to katanagari edict, Hideyoshi confiscated weapons from negoroshu (armed monks with muskets at more than 500 temples in Negoro district collectively called Negoro Temple) and saigashu (or saikashu: musket troop of powerful families in Kishu who supported Ishiyama Hongan-ji Temple), and Katsuie SHIBATA, a retainer to Nobunaga ODA, also executed a katanagari policy for putting down ikko ikki in the Echizen Province.
秀吉は1585年には先行して根来衆や雑賀衆から武器没収を行っており、また織田氏家臣の柴田勝家も越前国の一向一揆の鎮圧のために刀狩政策を行っている。
