Lake Biwa Supply Chain Revisited


 A couple years ago, I wrote a post regarding Nobunaga's Lake Biwa Chain with a video. Now here is a map explaining the entire Lake Biwa supply chain. 

Sakamoto Castle: Akechi Mitsuhide 

Omizo Castle: Oda Nobuzumi

Nagahama Castle: Hideyoshi 

Azuchi Castle: Oda Nobunaga 

In 1573, Nobunaga destroyed the Azai and Asakura families and end result was total control of the Lake Biwa area. Also the Lake Biwa supply chain was vital to unify Japan. Nobunaga was able to receive goods and services from other regions in the country as well as China and Korea making him richer and prosperous. More importantly, waging war more easily.


Nobunaga no tame!
