Terabe Castle



Two years before the Battle of Okehazama, Matsudaira Motoyasu (Tokugawa Ieyasu) made his first baptism of fire when he attacked Terabe Castle in 1558.  The flatland castle was built in the 15th century by Suzuki Shigetoki.  Suzuki Shigeteru was the lord of the castle when he defected from the Imagawa to the Oda.  Imagawa Yoshimoto sent Motoyasu to attack Terabe.  In response, Nobunaga sent his army to repel the attack.  Later in 1566, Nobunaga ordered Sakuma Nobumori to attack Terabe.

Tenka no tame!
