Volume 4 in this series explores the history behind the battles of Takeda Shingen's war with Uesugi Kenshin, a war that started in 1553 and lasted eleven long years. The clashes between these powerful samurai lords took place on the wide Kawana-kajima plain, in the northern part of Shinano, and made extensive use of the renowned Takeda cavalry. It also details the long battle for Shinano, which finally falls to the Takeda both on the battlefield and in the political arena.
