In 1551, Oda Nobuhide died unexpectedly, and during his funeral, Oda Nobunaga was said to have acted outrageously, throwing the ceremonial incense at the altar. In 1549, Oda succeeded to his father’s estate and soon overpowered both his own relatives and the ruling family of the province. Oda Nobunaga was born Oda Kichihoshi on June 23, 1534, the son of Oda Nobuhide, an insignificant warlord and a daimyo, with some land holdings in Owari province, near present-day Nagoya, who had amassed wealth and a force of military retainers. Life of Oda Nobunaga Unification of Owari Province Out of this political chaos, a new group of barons, known as daimyos, established and ruled over autonomous regional “states.” Starting in the 1550s, the more powerful of these daimyo began to vie among themselves to unify Japan again under a single government. The period from 1477 until the end of the Ashikaga shogunate in 1573 is known in Japanese history as the Age of Provincial Wars, an era when warlords and their retainers fought one another all over Japan in an effort to establish and expand their territories. ![]() Between 14, a power struggle among the vassal lords of the shogunate weakened its central governance, and the Ashikaga shogunate became almost as ineffectual as the imperial court, which had lost its political power to provincial warlords during the twelfth century.

He met an untimely death in 1582 when he was betrayed by one of his generals.Īutocratic and ambitious, Oda was quick to take advantage of opportunity and introduced many innovations both on the battlefield and in the economic and political structure of his domain.

Oda established Ashikaga Yoshiaki in Kyoto as the fifteenth Ashikaga shogun but used him as a puppet to consolidate his control over central Japan.
