Earlier last month I found a nice article by Busho Japan regarding the Battle of Anegawa 1570. The battle itself does not get much love from historians. I do not know why. I have visited the battlefield back in 2001.
The article is broken down into four parts. That being said, one of key points in my opinion, was Anegawa a draw? Yes and no. The Oda/Tokugawa army did defeat the Asai/Asakura army on that day. However, the Asai/Asakura did live to fight another day. It was not until 1573, when Nobunaga wiped out the Asai and the Asakura.
It is well known that Asakura Yoshikage did not participate at the Battle of Anegawa. The person who led the Asakura army was Asakura Kagetake. The Asakura/Tokugawa fought at Mitamura, while the Oda/Azai at Nomura.
