ARTILLERY
in Sengoku era artillery used by japanese was confined to large caliber arquebus, they used them to shoot at walls,

they were not usefull against troops with an extereme low rate of fire and absolutely dreadfull accuracy

if you managed to hit the wall you aimed at it was cause for celebration.

Slight correction. Some European siege artillery did find their way to Japan (used by some of the richest daimyos), albeitly rare. One example would be the artillery used by Tokugawa during Tennoji.

Before the arrival of the Portugese, siege tactics consists of fire arrows, shields (not carried but placed on the ground), towers (stationary and not the moving types of RTW), mining and the typical infantry assault.
