Okehazama Maps




Here are two maps related to the Battle of Okehazama.  The bottom picture shows where Yoshimoto's headquarters was located as well as his army attacking Fort Marune and Washizu.  It also shows the route where Matsudaira Motoyasu (Tokugawa Ieyasu) delivered the supplies to Odaka Castle.  The path he took was known as the Odaka Path.  As for Nobunaga, it shows his army stopping at Fort Zenshoji, Nakajima, and finally attacking Yoshimoto's camp.  Narumi Castle, an Imagawa castle, is located on the left side of the map.  Narumi was commanded by Okabe Motonobu.

The map above shows Motoyasu's attack on Fort Marune as well as Asahina Yasutomo' raid on Fort Washizu.  Fort Marune was to counter Odaka and Kutsukake while Fort Washizu was to counter Odaka and Narumi.

The maps are helpful in my opinion and are basic. 

Tenka no tame!
