I suppose there's a really good example of siege warfare involving Oda Nobunaga. So in Japan, you have these different Buddhist sects and one of them, Ojoro Shinshu, was particularly powerful and particularly worrying for Oda Nobunaga because the people in this particular sect could be almost pitted out at the last minute to become a kind of pop-up army so that the patriarch, for want of a better word, of this particular sect could issue a statement against Oda Nobunaga as he did, declaring him an enemy and saying that people would be rewarded in the next life if they stand up against him. And the followers of this sect included some fairly wealthy merchants who could effectively equip themselves and feed themselves. So the danger of these pop-up armies appearing almost out of nowhere was extraordinary for Oda Nobunaga and he worried about it and he actually resented it very much. And so he launched a siege against the main compound in Osaka of the Jodo Shinshu sect, which lasted actually for a while. It wasn't entirely successful because Osaka, of course, is on the water and so the patriarch had allies, pirate Daimyo, I suppose you could call them, who for a while would supply the castle by sea.

The '''Siege of Kanegasaki''' was a 1570 battle between the {{Wiki|Asakura clan}}, who sought to protect their domain, and the forces of [[Oda Nobunaga]], who claimed them to be rebels for ignoring a summons from the [[shōgun]]. It is part of Nobunaga's larger campaign that sought to reunite [[Japan]] during the [[Sengoku period]]. | |||
In 1570, Nobunaga sent an invitation to local warlords for a reception in [[Kyoto]] on the behalf of shōgun [[Ashikaga Yoshiaki]], though this invitation also served as a test to check who would accept his authority. {{Wiki|Asakura Yoshikage}}, daimyo of {{Wiki|Echizen Province|Echizen}}, refused the summon,<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 5: Oda Nobunaga</ref> which Nobunaga argued was an offense to both the shogun and the [[Michihito|emperor]]<ref>{{WP|Siege of Kanegasaki (1570)}}</ref> and launched a campaign to besiege the Asakura's {{Wiki|Kanagasaki Castle|main stronghold}}.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/> | |||
Because the Asakura clan had a multi-generational alliance relationship with the {{Wiki|Azai clan}}, [[Azai Nagamasa]], Nobunaga's brother-in-law, felt obligated to aid the Asakura and attacked Nobunaga's forces' rear, forcing Nobunaga to stop the siege and retreat, while a rear guard held off the combined forces of the Azai-Asakura. Feeling personally betrayed by a man he considered family, Oda would clash with the Azai-Asakura forces only months after, in the [[Battle of Anegawa]], which ended in a resounding victory for his side.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 05"/> | |||

Ishiyama Hongan-ji War [1570-1580]
I suppose there's a really good example of siege warfare involving Oda Nobunaga. So in Japan, you have these different Buddhist sects and one of them, Ojoro Shinshu, was particularly powerful and particularly worrying for Oda Nobunaga because the people in this particular sect could be almost pitted out at the last minute to become a kind of pop-up army so that the patriarch, for want of a better word, of this particular sect could issue a statement against Oda Nobunaga as he did, declaring him an enemy and saying that people would be rewarded in the next life if they stand up against him. And the followers of this sect included some fairly wealthy merchants who could effectively equip themselves and feed themselves. So the danger of these pop-up armies appearing almost out of nowhere was extraordinary for Oda Nobunaga and he worried about it and he actually resented it very much. And so he launched a siege against the main compound in Osaka of the Jodo Shinshu sect, which lasted actually for a while. It wasn't entirely successful because Osaka, of course, is on the water and so the patriarch had allies, pirate Daimyo, I suppose you could call them, who for a while would supply the castle by sea. But Oda Nobunaga managed to defeat those pirates at sea and so after a while the Jodo Shinshu sect holed up in this fortified temple complex in Osaka had to give up. They did at the last minute, the sun, I think, of the patriarch, if I've got it right, when he was forced to come out, set fire to the place just before he came out on the basis that if the Jodo Shinshu sect cannot have that fortress anymore, then Oda Nobunaga certainly can't have it either.[1]
