Takeda Nobutora

Takeda Nobutora and the Unification of Kai leads the reader into the Sengoku Jidai, one of the most turbulent periods of Japanese history. The second volume in the Saga of the Samurai Series focuses on the life of Takeda Nobutora (1494-1574). Father to Takeda Shingen, Nobutora's life history is often overlooked in the shadow of his son's many accomplishments as a warlord. With eleven painted color plates, and several black and white illustrations and maps, Saga of the Samurai: Takeda Nobutora and the Unification of Kai further brings to life the dramatic saga of the Takeda Family.
