Ichinomiya Munekore

Ichinomiya Munekore (一宮 宗是) was a retainer beneath the clan of Imagawa throughout the latter Sengoku Period of Feudal Japan. In the year of 1554 Takeda Shingen initiated a campaign into Shinano province, and as the Imagawa and the Takeda both shared a mutual friendship with one another at that present time, Munekore and other supporters of the Imagawa would be dispatched in support to the latter. By the year of 1560 Munekore would unfortunately lose his life at the Battle of Okehazama – a critical conflict that would have nonetheless borne him a similar detriment even if having survived it.
