The

The Battle of Okehazama was a pivotal clash in Japan's Sengoku ("warring states") period which occurred on the outskirts of what is now Nagoya City in June 1560. It was also a major turning point for warlord , who would come to be revered as one of the three great heroes of the (along with and ) associated with Aichi and Nagoya who forged a path to the unification of Japan. Nobunaga and his smaller force achieved a decisive victory over Imagawa Yoshimoto at Okehazama, despite being greatly outnumbered ten to one by Imagawa's army of 25,000, upsetting the balance of power in the region. The Okehazama area in Nagoya City's Midori Ward has a number of sites associated with the battle dotted around the mainly residential area, the main location being the Okehazama Kosenjo Park (桶狭間古戦場公園), a park modelled as a diorama showing key locations, positions and routes taken by the opposing forces at the time of the battle. Although the landscape has changed greatly in the 460 years since the battle, and the once commanding view offered by Mount Okehazama, where Imagawa Yoshimoto was encamped, is now obscured by roofs, one can explore the area and the sites on foot and imagine what the battle must have been like with the assistance of signboards offering links for visitors to access informative online content via smartphone. There are currently two areas referred to as the historic battlefield, one in Midori Ward, and the other being the Okehazama Battlefield Legendary Place in neighboring Toyoake City, designated a National Historic Site by the Ministry of Education in 1937. Okehazama Battlefield Festivals are held in both Midori Ward and Toyoake City in June every year to mark the historic event and remember the fallen. (Both events have been cancelled for 2020.)

Imagawa Yoshimoto (今川義元, 1519-1560) Oda Nobunaga (織田信長, 1534-1582) Born the third son of the military governor of Suruga and Tōtōmi The second son of Oda Nobuhide, a deputy military governor of provinces (now Shizuoka Prefecture), Imagawa Yoshimoto was , Nobunaga was known for bizarre and outrageous known as the greatest daimyo (feudal lord) of the Tokaido, as well behavior in his youth, with little regard to his own status, earning as for his accomplishments in governance and diplomacy. His him the epithet of "great fool of Owari". After the death of his marriage to the sister of Takeda Shingen of (now father in 1551, a succession dispute erupted among the , Yamanashi Prefecture) enabled Yoshimoto to strengthen his despite Nobunaga being his father's legitimate heir. Nobunaga alliance with Takeda, and the marriage of Yoshimoto's son to the suppressed those opposed to his rule, eliminating a rival branch in daughter of Hōjō Ujiyasu of (now central and Castle in 1556. His younger brother, Nobuyuki, and his western Kanagawa Prefecture) brought peace to the eastern supporters were defeated in 1557, and by 1559, Nobunaga had border of his domain in 1554, sealing a three-way alliance unified Owari Province and overcome resistance to his rule. between former rivals. When Imagawa Yoshimoto's forces overran the border fortesses Yoshimoto had sought to stem the encroaching influence of at Washizu and Marune on their march west in June 1560, Nobunaga's father, Oda Nobuhide, in Mikawa Province (now Nobunaga was advised to withdraw to Kiyosu Castle. Knowing eastern ), but was defeated at the Battle of that Kiyosu was unlikely to withstand a siege, Nobunaga instead Azukizaka in 1542. Several years later, Yoshimoto formed an chose to go on the offensive, despite only being able to send a alliance with Matsudaira Hirotada of western Mikawa, whose seat force of 2,500 men, to counter the enemy's superior numbers. at Okazaki was threatened by Oda Nobuhide. (A condition of the alliance was that Matsudaira's 5-year-old heir, who would later Nobunaga himself led his army from Kiyosu to Atsuta Shrine, become Tokugawa Ieyasu, be sent to Yoshimoto as a hostage.) where they prayed for victory in the coming battle, and continued Following the assassination of Matsudaira in 1549, Mikawa to the Zenshōji Fortress (near Narumi Station), close to the Province was brought under Imagawa control, as Yoshimoto Imagawa lines. expanded his territory. He was 27 at the time of the Battle of Okehazama in 1860. In June 1560, Imagawa Yoshimoto began his advance west, toward , with his 25,000-strong army, crossing from Mikawa into Owari Province, rapidly overcoming a number of Oda-held border fortresses. He was 42 at the time of the Battle of Okehazama.

Education Q & A 外国人児童生徒教育相談Q&A

Q: Because my children can't speak Japanese, I'm thinking of having them learn Japanese before enrolling them in elementary school and junior high school. Where can I find a Japanese language school? A: There are no Japanese language schools specifically for foreign children of elementary or junior high school age. For this reason, it would be best to enroll your children in elementary school or junior high school, where they can learn Japanese while they study at school. Children who have already turned 15 cannot be admitted to junior high school in some cases, so it is important to enroll children of ages subject to compulsory education in school as early as possible after coming to Japan. As for Japanese language acquisition, the kind of support that is accessible will vary depending on the school, so please consult the school where your children will be enrolled. Also, depending on the area, there may be Japanese language classes offered after school or on Saturdays or Sundays. Attending these kinds of classes actively is important for acquiring Japanese language skills. The Nagoya International Center Information Counter can provide information on places to learn Japanese, so please feel free to contact us.

Q: My child is 15 years old. Can my child be admitted to junior high school? A: Under Japan's education system, to qualify for admission to the third year of junior high school (chūgakko / 中学校), a child must be turning 15 years old during that school year. A child who is now 15 years old, and will be 16 at the time of graduation in March, is overage and cannot be admitted to junior high school unconditionally. When carrying out your resident registration at your ward or municipal office, please tell staff that you would like your child to attend junior high school, and after being directed to the junior high school in your school district (gakku / 学区), consult school staff. Whether or not your child can be admitted is ultimately the decision of the junior high school principal.
