Full Owada Tetsuo Okehazama Lecture


 Here is the full Okehazama lecture by Owada Tetsuo.  It was supposed to held near the Arimatsu Okehazama Battlefield area, but it was canceled.  So Tetsuo did the lecture from his own office.  Over an hour long, it focuses on Matsudaira Motoyasu (Tokugawa Ieyasu), Mikawa, and of course, the Battle of Okehazama.

Key points:

Motoyasu as a hostage during the Oda/Imagawa years.

Education at Rinzaiji with Sessai as his instructor

Yoshimoto's campaign goals. For example, Mikawa, Owari, or Kyoto.

Yoshimoto's alliance with the Hojo and Takeda

Motoyasu's delivery of supplies to Odaka Castle.

His attack on Fort Marune

Okehazama: Nobunaga's intelligence network, quality of troops, weather, and Yoshimoto's mishaps.

Battlefield more spread out than originally thought.

Oda/Tokugawa alliance

The fall of the Imagawa

Ieyasu's conflict with the Ikko Ikki in Mikawa

Nobunaga no tame!
