Masazumi's activities were largely confined to civil affairs and, like his father, he has been accused of being an inveterate schemer. At the end of the [[Osaka Winter Campaign]] ([[1614]]), it was Masazumi whose men filled in the outer and second moats of the castle, in violation of the peace treaty. He was dispossessed in [[1622]] and died in [[Dewa province]].
