Concept art of Nobunaga's army attacking the Ishiyama Hongan-ji

The Ishiyama Hongan-ji War (August 1570 – August 1580) was a ten-year Sengoku military campaign by Oda Nobunaga and his forces against the Ikkō-ikki, a faction of Jōdo Shinshū Buddhist followers.

The Jōdo Shinshū sect's power and wealth worried Nobunaga, who feared that they could issue a statement declaring him an enemy and raise armies from their followers. He launched a siege against their main fortress compound of Ishiyama Hongan-ji in Osaka, though it lasted much longer than expected because Chief Abbot Kōsa had allies who delivered supplies using waterways that connected the complex to the sea until Nobunaga eventually defeated these mariners.[1]

The Ikkō-ikki surrendered in 1580 after Emperor Ōgimachi sent a court official to broker a settlement between the parties.[2] When they were forced out of their base, Kōsa's son Kyonyo set fire to it, not wishing for it to fall into Nobunaga's hands.[1]
