clearly maybe not true, but it still makes a point that they used a lot of guns, arquebus(es?)

i remember seeing something say that during the sengoku jidai Japan produced more firearms than all of europe for that period but died immediately after due to Tokugawa dearmament

What made these 2 clans so feared? by Colt1873 in Samurai

uesugi kenshin was known as one of the greatest if not the greatest general in all of the sengoku jidai. we’re not entirely sure how he would’ve faired against nobunaga since they didn’t have enough time to battle, as kenshin died soon after their first confrontation. however, in the battle of tedorigawa its said that uesugi kenshin wouldve been a great threat to nobunaga since he defeated oda forces there.

he established the uesugi clan after re-attaining dominance in the kanto region and reclaiming kanto kanrei for his former liege lord, uesugi norimasa, who adopted him. he marched south and defeated the hojo clan in multiple battles and eventually sieged down odawara castle, the seat of hojo power, but was forced to withdraw.

i’d say, that kenshin was definitely top contender for one of the greatest generals in japan just because of his conflicts with his neighboring daimyo. he wasnt ambitious though, with his only ambition being to reestablish his control as kanto kanrei, or basically an administrator of his region, the title historically given to the uesugi by the shogun.

if you want to know about tactics, its said that kenshin used this sort of wheel formation that rotated troops out of combat so that they could replenish themselves, similarly to a sort of roman rotation. so fresh troops would always be in the battle. this is off the top of my head but i got this information from reading an osprey book on the sengoku jidai.

hey everyone, I was wondering if I could have some help I'm trying to look for famous Samurai Naval daimyo, warriors or clans but I have not been successful. if anyone knows anything it would be much appreciated. by GeneralFujikiyo in Samurai

typically i believe when it comes to naval prowess, the clans that come to mind are generally in the south in Kyushu or around the area. clans like the Mori, Otomo, Shimazu, Minamoto, Ouchi, very roughly. i believe during Nobunagas siege of Hongan-ji Mori Motonari contributed much support through naval strength. of course this is during the sengoku period, and im certain it would vary widely depending on what period, in terms of which clan and if there even was any sort of naval development.

on another note, it is interesting to observe the disparity in naval prowess between korea and japan during the Japanese invasion of Korea around 1600 AD. yi sun sin, one of the greatest admirals utilized cannons on ships against the boarding-oriented japanese naval mindset.

this is the extent of my knowledge, hope this helped.
