Siege of Itami (1574)

The 1574 siege of Itami (伊丹の戦い, Itami no Tatakai) was the first time Itami Castle would be attacked.

History

Oda Nobunaga forces under Araki Murashige besieged the castle. In the meantime during the siege, Hashiba Hideyoshi attacked the castle by digging a long tunnel from outside the walls to a spot near the castle's keep.

After the castle fell, Nobunaga gave the castle to Araki Murashige. Murashige expanded the castle, and it became one of the biggest castles in this region.

Later, after the Araki Murashige rebellion, this castle was captured by Oda Nobunaga again at the siege of Itami (1579). It was later abolished by Ikeda Motosuke, a major general under Oda Nobunaga.
