Okehazama Edo Sources



In March Mr. Yukio Kajino sent some information regarding souces written in the Edo Era relating to the Battle of Okehazama. Here are three and all three authors came from Nobunaga's home domain of Owari.

Okehazama Kassenki Published 1691-92
Written by Yamazumi Hidetatsu 1605-1703

Bishu Okehazama Kassenki Published unknown
Written by Yamasaki Manato 1736-1810

Shiken Okehazama Kassenki Published 1846
Written Tamiya Atsuteru 1808-1871

As for the Okehazama Kassenki, it could be the first chronicle related to the battle that is not from the standard sources (Shincho-Ko ki, Shinchokoki, Bukoyawa, or the Mikawa Monogatari).

As for the 2011 Arimatsu Okehazama Festival, it will be held on May 15.
