Siege of Takatenjin (1581)
Encyclopedia : S : SI : SIE : Siege of Takatenjin (1581)
The second siege of Takatenjin came only six years after Takeda Katsuyori took the fortress. This second siege lasted several months, and ended with the fortress falling once more out of Takeda control.
This was quite an advantageous event for Oda Nobunaga, as it weakened his enemies; the battle of Temmokuzan the following year would come to be known as Takeda Katsuyori's last stand. However, it is not clear whether those who took Takatenjin from Katsuyori were under Nobunaga's command.
