Suzuki Dewa-no-kami

Dewa-no-kami · Lord of Torigoe Castle

Suzuki Dewa-no-kami (died 1580) was the military leader of the Ikkō-ikki league in the southern mountains of Kaga Province. Sent, according to accounts, by Hongan-ji, he commanded Torigoe Castle, a stronghold of the faithful Jōdo Shinshū of Yamanouchi, against the army of Oda Nobunaga. He repelled a first assault thanks to a skilful use of arquebuses, before being lured into talks at Mattō by Shibata Katsuie, who had him killed along with nineteen of his officers in 1580. His death led to the fall of the castle, a prelude to the final crushing of Ikkō resistance in Kaga in 1582.
