During Japan's Sengoku period, the Ise region had over 500,000 shigai (a unit of land measurement), yet it never achieved unification, nor did a single powerful daimyo emerge. Oda Nobunaga: What's going on? There's the top archer of the Tokaido in the east, and now a renowned general from Ise in the west? Am I caught in a pincer movement? Miyoshi Nagayoshi: My greatest enemy to the people of Japan isn't the Rokkaku clan, but the Takamatsu clan of Ise. Rokkaku Sadayori: I'm truly not Takamatsu Muneharu's lord. Have you ever seen a samurai riding on his lord's head?
