Today is Battle of Okehazama Day! I will write about the two Imagawa Yoshimoto grave stones located at the Arimatsu Okehazama Battlefield. The grave stone located in the middle right was built in 1934. The Sunko Boketsu located on the far right was discovered in 1953. Unfortunately, there is no known date when the Sunko Boketsu was built. According to the Shincho-Ko ki kubimaki to Okehazama no Tatakai by Obata Taizo (p. 379), the Sunko Boketsu was accidentally discovered by a construction worker.
As always here are 12 key points to Nobunaga's historical victory at the Battle of Okehazama:
Nobunaga had a plan from the start
He did not tell his retainers or captains about the plan due to betrayal
He used middle men such as the Men of the Fields to do his dirty work
The weather was extremely hot and miserable so the Imagawa army had no choice but to rest. In addition to the violent thunderstorm
The intelligence provided by Yanada Masatsuna
The quality of the Imagawa troops was poor compared to Nobunaga's
Nobunaga's charisma
Yoshimoto never respected Nobunaga as a worthy opponent
Kyoto, Yoshimoto was too obsessed with the capital
Tactics, Yoshimoto failed tactically
Profession, Nobunaga was a warrior from the day he was born until death
Plan Preparation Execution
Nobunaga no tame!
