When [[Saito Yoshitatsu]] of Mino died of illness in June of [[1561]], Oda Nobunaga was quick to take advantage of the situation by leading an army from [[Owari province|Owari]] into the Saito domain. Yoshitatsu's teenage heir, Tatsuoki, responded by sending a force out from [[Sunomata castle|Sunomata]] to strike first. This was defeated by Nobunaga's army, which went on to take possession of Sunomata itself. Oda and Saito forces clashed again a week later in an action known as the Battle of Jushijo which began with an ambush of an Oda contingent. Nobunaga hastily led a force out of Sunomata and defeated the Saito in a sharp night action, in the process costing the latter their general [[Inaba Mataemon]]. After fighting a few more skirmishes and taking a further two Saito forts, Nobunaga returned to Owari province.
