My good friend and Battle of Okehazama colleague Seishiro Mizuno has written a small article on Fort Zenshoji. Fort Zenshoji was built in 1559 by Nobunaga and his retainer Sakuma Nobumori was put in charge of the fort during the Battle of Okehazama. The fort was massive and it measured between 768 by 118 feet in length. Nobunaga arrived at Fort Zenshoji around ten in the morning with his army on the day of the battle. The article has a picture of where the location of Takaneyama from Fort Zenshoji. Takaneyama was the headquarters of Matsui Munenobu, a retainer of Imagawa Yoshimoto. West of Fort Zenshoji is Narumi Castle which was in the hands of the Imagawa. South of Fort Zenshoji was Fort Nakajima. Nakajima was built in 1559 by Nobunaga and Kajikawa Takahide was in charge of the fort.
After the Battle of Okehazama, Nobunaga ordered Sakuma Nobumori to take over Narumi Castle.
Tenka no tame!
