Historical Background: Around the Tensho era (1573), near the end of the Muromachi period and the beginning of the Azuchi-Momoyama period, Oda Nobunaga expelled the 15th shogun, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, from Kyoto, bringing the approximately 240-year Muromachi Shogunate to an end. This marked the beginning of Nobunaga’s full-scale campaign to unify Japan. The Battle of Ichijodani, fought in the 8th month of Tensho 1 (September 1573), was a Sengoku-period battle between Oda Nobunaga and Asakura Yoshikage, and is also known as the Battle of Tonegasaka.<\/p>\n
