Now here is some evidence that the rivers was the cause of Nobuhide's defeat.

(pp. 123)
"I asked Joenbo and he says that Sunomata was a stronghold that was ideal for keeping an enemy at bay. From the time of Nobunaga's father, Oda Nobuhide, attempts were made to invade Mino, but time and again, his armies were defeated not by the enemy, but by the water of the river. That is why we picked the ninth month (as the best time to invade Mino). We went out during the dry season when peasants were busy with the harvest."

"A few days later, my mother-in-law Lady Dota invites me to the main Suemori Castle to celebrate the annual Girl's Day.
'I love your kimono, Kicho-san.' Lady Dota is full of smiles. 'Gorgeous spring colors.'
'Thank you, Mother. It is from my half-brother Lord Yoshi.'
'I congratulate Lord Yoshi, the new Lord of Gifu.'
'Thank you, Mother. Our father can now enjoy his retirement.'
'Very well, Kicho-san. Now, it's a day just for us Girl's to have fun celebrating the joyous spring season. We don't need to worry about the men.' Lady Dota picks up a porcelain carafe filled with the sweet and fragrant white sake."
