Shigehara Castle


 


Shigehara Castle was the pretext to the Battle of Muraki in 1554 and later Okehazama 1560. The Chronicle of Lord Nobunaga (p. 71)

"Around that time, the Suruga forces stationed in Okazaki attacked and seized the stronghold of Yamaoka [Dengoro] in Shigiwara. They brought up reinforcements from Okazaki and turned Shigiwara into a base for operations directed against the castle of Mizuno Kingo [Nobumoto] at Ogawa."

Earlier this year I wrote a post about Ogawa Castle. For Yoshimoto and his army 

Strategic: Owari   Operational: Chita Bay   Tatical: Muraki, stepping stone into Owari.

Nobunaga no tame!
