May is the Battle of Okehazama month and I start off with an update on Fort Tange. There is a new landmark for Fort Tange. Great news since the landmark is in Japanese and English. Built by Nobunaga in 1559, the fort was 243 by 141 feet. Nobunaga then put Mizuno Tatewaki in charge of the fort. Tatewaki was part of Nobunaga's black cowl unit since 1558 and he was from the Tobe family. Yamaguchi Ebi no Jo Moritaka also assisted Tatewaki defending Fort Tange. Fort Tange along with Zenshoji and Nakajima were the three forts that Nobunaga built in 1559 in preparation for the Battle of Okehazama.
Nobunaga no tame!
