Komaki Castle Video


 Here is a nice video on Komaki Castle by Owada Tetsuo.  He first goes into details on Nobunaga's movements from Nagoya, Kiyosu, Komaki, Gifu, and Azuchi. Then explains his father, Nobuhide's movements Shobata, Nagoya, Furuwatari, and Suemori.  Nobuhide moved often, but stayed in Owari.  Nobunaga moved throughout central Japan.  Tetsuo also explains that Uesugi Kenshin stayed at Kasugayama as well as Takeda Shingen at Tsutsujigasaki.  

The video continues with Nobunaga's genius plan to move from Kiyosu to Komaki by first suggesting Ninomiya.  His retainers did not want to move to the deep mountains, so Komaki it was.  Tetsuo also drives home the use of stone walls at Komaki, which Kiyosu did not.  Last was Komaki becoming a castle town with economic power.

Nobunaga no tame!
