For example, Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI executed more than 200 women by transfixing children with a spear and crucifying women as an example to the Mori clan near the borders of the Bizen, Mimasaka and Harima Provinces in 1577 (according to a letter of Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI as of January 22 in the next year), and Shingen TAKEDA, Kenshin UESUGI and other daimyo sold enemy as slaves (according to the diaries of missionaries in those days such as Luis SOTELO) and put enemy women up for auction (the Battle of Otaihara), which was not so unique.
豊臣秀吉が天正5年に備前国・美作国・播磨国の国境付近で毛利氏への見せしめに、女・子供200人以上を子供は串刺しに、女は磔にして処刑した行為（同年12月5日の羽柴秀吉書状）、武田信玄・上杉謙信等の敵を奴隷として売却すること（ルイ・ソテロ等、当時の伝道師の日記）や敵方の女性を競売にかけたり（小田井原の戦い）といった行為等もことさら珍しいことではなかった。
