Map Locations Leak
territory of map 1:
This map leaks 8 territories of region 1: Wakasa, Tamba, Yamashiro, Omi, Iga, Harima, Settsu, Yamato.
Real Life Locations:
Wakasa
Historical: Wakasa was a coastal province on the Sea of Japan, making it a significant area for maritime trade and communication. Due to its proximity to Kyoto, Wakasa served as a critical supply line for food, seafood, and cultural goods during the Sengoku period. It also played a role in the movement of samurai and resources between western Japan and the capital region. Daimyo (feudal lords) controlling Wakasa often found themselves drawn into conflicts over trade and influence.
Tamba
Historical: Tamba was a fertile province, often contested due to its proximity to Kyoto, the imperial capital. It was known for its agricultural output, particularly rice, which made it a valuable asset for any daimyo. The Miyoshi clan and later Oda Nobunaga fought to control Tamba as part of their campaigns to dominate central Japan. The province also had mountainous terrain, which made it defensible and strategically valuable in military campaigns.
Yamashiro
Historical: Yamashiro was home to Kyoto, the imperial capital, which made it the political and cultural heart of Japan. During the Sengoku period, Kyoto was often the focus of military campaigns by rival factions vying for legitimacy and control over the Emperor’s court. The region was controlled by powerful clans like the Hosokawa and Miyoshi before Oda Nobunaga captured Kyoto in 1568, marking the start of his campaign to unify Japan. Yamashiro’s significance extended beyond politics, as it was also a cultural hub for art, literature, and religion.
Currently: Southern Kyoto Prefecture
Omi
Historical: Omi was a strategically vital province due to its location around Lake Biwa, Japan’s largest freshwater lake. The lake provided a natural transportation route, enabling trade and military logistics. Omi was also home to Azuchi Castle, built by Oda Nobunaga as a symbol of his power and a base for his unification efforts. The region saw many battles, including clashes between Nobunaga and the Rokkaku clan, who initially controlled the province.
Currently: Shiga Prefecture
Iga
Historical: Iga is famously associated with ninjas and their legendary skills in espionage and guerrilla warfare. During the Sengoku period, the Iga province operated as an autonomous region governed by local clans and a loose confederation of warriors. Their independence was fiercely defended until Oda Nobunaga launched an invasion in 1581, known as the “Iga Tensho” campaign. Despite their eventual defeat, the ninja traditions of Iga lived on and influenced Japanese military strategies.
Currently: Mie Prefecture
Harima
Historical: Harima was a prosperous agricultural province and a strategic region for controlling western Japan. The province is best known for Himeji Castle, a masterpiece of Japanese architecture that served as a military stronghold during the Sengoku period. Harima changed hands several times, with prominent daimyo like the Mori clan and later Toyotomi Hideyoshi fighting for control over its valuable resources.
Currently: Hyogo Prefecture
Settsu
Historical: Settsu was a key province for commerce, particularly due to its location near Osaka Bay. Osaka itself became a major hub for trade and political activity. During the Sengoku period, Settsu was the site of significant battles, including the siege of Osaka by Oda Nobunaga and, later, Tokugawa Ieyasu. The province was also home to Ishiyama Honganji, a fortified temple complex that resisted Nobunaga’s forces for over a decade before falling in 1580.
Currently: Parts of Osaka and Hyogo Prefectures
Yamato
Historical: Yamato is often referred to as the cradle of Japanese civilization. During the Sengoku period, it was an area of religious and cultural significance, with numerous temples and shrines. While not as militarily prominent as other provinces, Yamato was occasionally drawn into conflicts due to its location near Kyoto and its symbolic importance. The Todaiji Temple in Nara was one of the most significant cultural landmarks in the region.
Kii
Historical: Kii was known for its rugged terrain, including the Kii Mountains, which made it a natural fortress. The province was famous for its sacred sites and pilgrimage routes, such as Kumano Sanzan, a network of three grand shrines. During the Sengoku period, Kii was controlled by the Saika Ikki, a group of autonomous warrior monks and samurai who resisted the centralization efforts of Oda Nobunaga. The province’s natural defenses and strong warrior traditions made it a difficult region to conquer.
Currently: Wakayama Prefecture and parts of Nara and Mie Prefectures
