During the first half of the sengoku period the Murakami were a powerful daimyô family in [[Shinano province]]. They became involved in a long war with the [[Takeda clan|Takeda]] and had by [[1553]] been driven from their lands. They took up in [[Echigo province]] with the [[Uesugi clan|Uesugi]] and remained with that family into the Edo Period.
