** ''Location: [[Izumo Province]]''
** ''Siege''
Hoping to capitalize on the recent death of [[Amako Tsunehisa]] and Haruhisa's defeat at [[Battle of Koriyama|Koriyama]] in [[1540]], Ouchi Yoshitaka launched an attack into Izumo. The allied progress into Izumo proved exceedingly slow, and at the gates of Gassan-Toda the Ouchi / Mori effort faltered and fell back in disarray. Motonari himself came very close to being captured in the retreat and this reverse is said to have brought about a decided change in Yoshitaka, who afterwards displayed little interest in military endeavors.
