Years: 1580 - 1580

Nobunaga finally achieves the surrender of the fortress-monastery of Hongan-ji at Osaka, the most important political and military center of the Ikko, only through the mediation of the Imperial court in 1580; the ten-year-siege has been the longest in Japanese history.

Following the destruction of Nagashima, Nobunaga orders his men to search all of Echizen Province and kill every last man and woman of the so-called Ikko sect.
