I recently received news that a new book has been published on the Battle of Okehazama. Okehazama no Tatakai Zenya no Shinjutsu, by Takeuchi Motokazu discusses that the night before the battle, Imagawa Yoshimoto was at Odaka Castle, not Kutsukake. Historically, Yoshimoto was at Kutsukake Castle on the eve of the battle. That is certain. That being said, I would like to find out why Takeuchi Motokazu has come up with the idea that Yoshimoto was at Odaka, not Kutsukake on the eve of Okehazama. Mikawa Monogatari perhaps? The distance between Kutsukake and Odaka is approximately eight miles. As for the book itself, it should be an interesting read.
The book is 900 yen electronically and 2,400 hardback. It can be purchased on Amazon. Unfortunately, the book cannot be found at bookstores.
Nobunaga no tame!
