Okehazama Video

Here is a video I found on YouTube regarding the Battle of Okehazama.  It is in Japanese and it is decent at best.  Highlights include Yoshimoto's alliance with the Hojo and Takeda, his arrogance towards Nobunaga, and Nobunaga's surprise attack at Yoshimoto's headquarters. I have to admit, the video is tacky at times, but the maps steal the show.  The battle map is top notch and easy to understand.  Another plus was the simple explanation where Okabe Motonobu received Yoshimoto's head while surrendering Narumi to Nobunaga.  Unfortunately, that historical incident is often left out of most Okehazama videos.
