The Japanese Right Army or Army of the Right was an army of unified Japan during the second wave of Japanese invasions of Korea, in the years 1597–1598. It included forces from several divisions of the earlier invasions (1592–1596). The Army of the Right consisted mainly of the former Second Division led by Kato Kiyomasa, the Third Division led by Kuroda Nagamasa and the Seventh Division led by Mori Hidemoto, who replaced his cousin Mori Terumoto.
