That’s a lot. Japan’s Warring States history is richer and more colorful than China’s. Even though it is a small country, I only know a few examples of history: Oda Nobunaga, Akechi Mitsuhide, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Honda Tadakatsu, Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Kenshin, Naoe Kensugu, Ishida Mitsunari, Maeda Keiji, Sanada Yukimura, Shimazu Yoshihiro, Shima Sakon, Date Masamune, Miyamoto Musashi, Maeda Toshiie. Wait...the above are all relatively famous people during the Warring States Period in Japan. Let's talk about Oda Nobunaga. Many scholars and historians say he is a bit like China's Cao Cao. In fact, he only has some similar abilities in dealing with things. That’s all.
Oda Nobunaga was a Warring States Daimyo who was active in Japan's Azuchi-Momoyama period. He successfully controlled the political and cultural core areas of Japan, mainly the Kinki area, and made the Oda clan the most powerful daimyo in the middle and late Warring States Period of Japan. However, he was later betrayed by his general Mitsuhide Akechi, and his soul was destroyed at Honnoji Temple. The Oda clan also As a result, he was unable to recover. The Dharma Name Somi-in Hall presented the first-class Taiyan statue to the Prime Minister. During his lifetime, he served as a minister to the two right ministers, the Shosho, and during the reign of Emperor Taisho, he gave it posthumously to a Taizheng minister. He is one of the three heroes of Japan's Warring States Period (the other two are Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu), and was once voted "Japan's favorite historical figure" by the Japanese people.
