Thanks for posting these pever. I must say i cant quite comprehend the description of Uesugi Clan. The description ofcourse gives us a clear tip of the starting date, which is quite late as the "Yamanouchi" mentioned was the Uesugi Norimasa,Kanto Kanrei and leader of the Yamanouchi branch of Uesugi, who fled to Echigo after loosing his Hirai castle in Kozuke to Hojo in 1551. Also Uesugi Kenshin finished uniting Echigo province during 1551, so i could bet my hat that the campaign starting date is 1551.Now what i dont understand is the section saying: "and to the south there is unfinished business is the shape of the Yamanouchi clan of Kozuke province."
Uesugi Norimasa did not loose entire Kozuke to the Hojo when he lost Hirai castle.Norimasa´s key vassal Nagano Narimasa still held Minowa castle in northern Kozuke at that point and together with his son Narimori they fought of several attacks of both Hojo and Takeda over an decade or so, while being obedient to new Uesugi Lord Kenshin.Minowa castle being the main support and gathering area for the large number of campaigns of Kenshin against the Odawara Hojo. So i dont really understand what the description is talking about.
