The second contest between Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin occured in the Fall of 1555 and largely consisted of skirmishes as the two warlords vied for a superior position. For over a month, the Takeda and Uesugi glared at one another from across the Saigawa and in the end retreated without having fought a decisive encounter. The fiercest fighting happened towards the beginning of the campaign, when Kenshin attempted unsuccessfully to reduce Asahiyama. Shingen had supplied the fort's commander, [[Kurita Kakuju]], with some 300 guns prior to the battle and these tipped the balance in the defenders' favor.
