	Battle of Okehazama - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The battle of Okehazama (桶狭間の戦い Okehazama-no-tatakai) took place in May of 1560.
		In this battle, Oda Nobunaga defeated Imagawa Yoshimoto and established himself as one of the front-running warlords in the nationwide conflict that characterized the Sengoku period.
		Had Nobunaga decided on a frontal assault, the battle would have been deceptively easy to predict; his army was outnumbured ten to one by the Imagawa forces.

		This was known as the Battle of Okehazama, and brought Nobunaga's name to national prominence.
		However, after the battle, the Takeda forces retreated as Shingen died of illness (or perhaps, as it had been speculated, of aggravated wounds or at the hand of an assassin) in 1573.
		At the decisive Battle of Nagashino, the combined forces of Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu devastated the Takeda clan with the strategic use of muskets.

	Principles of War: A Translation from the Japanese
		Because of the necessity for an uninterrupted link between the base of operations and the battle front and the sluggishness of movement, the shifting and concentration of combat power, change of direction of operations, etc., are sluggish.
		Extending the battle line invites a gradual decrease in combat power (personnel, materiel) because of maintaining of logistics, holding of terrain, etc., and is an important condition making the difference between the offensive and defensive.
		In other words, along with deploying first-line manpower on its own battle front and applying its own combat power, each unit is supported by artillery and aviation firepower and, if necessary, is reinforced with airborne troops and heliborne forces, and it also is directed three-dimensionally, air-defense combat power being directed against the enemy's air power.

		Nobunaga's rise to glory, however, began in 1560, when the 25000-man army of neighboring warlord Imagawa Yoshimoto was caught flat-footed in a drunken stupor during a thunderstorm by Nobunaga's force of 3000 at the Battle of Okehazama, and Imagawa himself had the rotten luck of losing his head (literally).
		While Nobunaga tended not to make use of ninjas, he had allied himself with avowed ninja fan Tokugawa Ieyasu after Okehazama, and he also made use of the newest technology from the West, such as the arquebus.
		Nobunaga was known in his day to be a bit of a showoff, wearing western plate mail into battle, and displaying European items acquired in his numerous dealings with Catholic clergy.

		In addition to his military conquests, Nobunaga is known for introducing a succession of policies that went against the conventional ideas and practices of the time.
		The famous Battle of Okehazama in 1560 propelled Nobunaga to prominence, but the way he rewarded retainers following the battle provides an early insight into Nobunaga's originality.
		Until then retainers had been rewarded after battle according to how well they fought, but at the Battle of Okehazama Nobunaga bestowed the greatest rewards on retainers who brought him valuable information such as the whereabouts of his enemy, Imagawa Yoshimoto.
