Cut from Japanese movie "Ten to Chi to" (Heaven and Earth) 1990.
The battles of Kawanakajima (川中島の戦い Kawanakajima no tatakai) were fought in the Sengoku period of Japan between Takeda Shingen of Kai Province and Uesugi Kenshin of Echigo Province in the plain of Kawanakajima, "the island between the rivers", in the north of Shinano Province. The location is in the southern part of the present-day city of Nagano. Five major battles took place there: Fuse in 1553, Saigawa in 1555, Uenohara in 1557, Hachimanbara in 1561, and Shiozaki in 1564. The best known and most severe among them was fought on October 18, 1561, and was only fought in the heart of the Kawanakajima plain, thus being the "battle of Kawanakajima". The battles were fought after Shingen conquered Shinano, expelling Ogasawara Nagatoki and Murakami Yoshikiyo, who subsequently turned to Kenshin for help. The battles became one of the most cherished tales in Japanese military history, the epitome of Japanese chivalry and romance, mentioned in epic literature, woodblock printing and movies.

@@martink3082 its not from ran but it is very similar to the scene in ran, may still be kurosawa though. whatever its from he defiantly ripped it off lol.
*edit* its from heaven and earth.
There were ALOT OF MEN involved in these Battles.
I never knew Japan had such a large proportion of Men under Arms, during this period of Japanese History.
It's extraordinary.
I was there, it was crazy
Wow I love japanese Manga
This is one of the most visually stylish samurai movies I have seen. Every frame is a painting. Hats off to the production design.
Name of the movie?
@@oddwanmamoth Heaven and Earth (1990). But please do watch videos on the Kawanakajima war by channels like The Shoghunate or others, otherwise you wouldn’t get the context 👍
Thank you sir.
Spain and Portugal take at great gift a japanese in their wars: firearms.
But the storyline isnt that great
My dad and all my relatives were extras on here . This movie was made west of calgary . Its awesome to have played as yukimura sanada on samurai warriors. Played as takeda on shogun and to find out years later my dad standing in takeda armour as an extra
Did they really cut the horses leg to make it fall as shown in the movie? That looks too real man.
@@impactodelsurenterprise2440 czcams.com/video/v1NyrVj9occ/video.html A stuntman does a little explaining about how they used to do it.
So the rumours that White extras were used in this movie were true then...
Is it true that all extras get to keep the armour sets used?
@@szhou2513 I dont remember my dad having it unless it sold it or something. He was one of the red soldiers
do you know the chant there doing when they march to the Takeda? 3:59
didn't know they had cameras of this good quality in 1561
Yeah I was shocked 😂🤯

And you weren't prepared for it
Praise to the cameramen who survived this battle to deliver us this lost piece of history nearly 500 years later
Everyone is getting tired of the same old "cameraman" line
Time travel damn
Just a short Tardis travel
@@sardaukerlegion yup
I absolutely love how realistic this part of this fight scene is @7:00 . LITERALLY almost all movies show armies, blindly rushing in with spears and swords in hand, seemingly ready to impale themselves as they just run and charge into the enemy forces. This however, shows the armies never, EVER, breaking their ranks and formation to start randomly fight one on one amongst the entire enemy force. The ones that do break formation, are the ones that end up getting picked off and killed. Fuckin awesome.
The men armed with the long spears, Yari, are doing the old "push of pike," like European armies from the 15th, 16th and early 17th centuries. swap uniforms, armor styles, add a little artillery and this could be Pavia or Lutzen. Convergent evolution, military style. You're right. This is really well done!
It’s good to get your dander up but it’s discipline that wins the day!
sorry to say but this was not the way armies fought at the time. Infantries armed with pikes fought in very tight rangs, each man was very close to next in line, literally shoulder to shoulder. Cavalry never stops to fight the enemy standing still, they swipe the field cutting and slashing whatever in their way...
Watch Alatriste's pike clash. one of the best.
@@Seathal : I've seen it. You're right, it's fantastic!
My mother's ancestors fought against Uesugi Kenshin and served Maeda Toshiie. I think that fighting with steel swords is much more dangerous than people realize. My son thinks that the Sengoku Jidai is a game and told him that it was not a good time for anyone.
No one cares
@@cooorsbanq4226 😂
Yeah people dont realize how much chaos was going on in Japan.
That's uber cool family history.
@@deadby15 I think that living in those times was hell on earth and my grandfather fought in the Russo-Japanese War at the Battle of Port Arthur. He told my father that some soldiers fought against Russians using Japanese samurai swords. The fighting was extremely intense. My father fought in WWII against the Germans in Italy and in France and you cannot believe the carnage.
That moment when you Don't understand language but you want to keep watching...priceless
Uesugi should have lost. Their cavalries are inferior and I don't see any warrior monks present.
That's what I learnt from Shogun 2: Total War
Wilson: I've won battles against them with just spearmen, archers and a few cavalry. Don't fight them on level ground and they ain't they ain't near as effective as they should be.
Cretinous Jester lol
Dammit!! The video must be fake, shogun 2 was more accurate
Shogun1: Total war learned a lot from this film. No kidding. Aslo Shogun1 was the first Total war game. So you can imagine the film shocked people of that time. There was not anything like this before.
LOL
Anyone here because of Total war Shogun 2 ?
we are here becasuse , we read TAIKO!!! The Book!
No.
I'm here because of Nobunagas Ambition
Ma dude il here because of shogun total war 2

10:36 when you loose your entire elite unit in total war
Underrated comment.
The Sengoku Jidai is one of my favorite historical periods. The Armor, Banners (Sashimono) and weapons of the period are really cool and the personalities involved (Oda Nobunaga, Hediyoshi Toyotomi, Takeda Shingen and a whole host of others) makes reading about the period interesting. But it is easy to forget that there was great suffering during this period, many civilians died and being a lowly Ashigaru probably wouldn't have been all that hot.
And of course I forgot, Thank you for the video!
Yeah, I totally agree! Finally I found someone who Knows a lot about samurai history!
Tokugawa Ieyasu managed to establish himself as the undisputed ruler of Japan after getting rid of Ishida Mitsunari at the Battle of Sekigahara and Toyotomi Hideyori at the Siege of Osaka
idk being ashigaru was probaly not so bad we often has the perception of farmers living in peace etc when in realitly they where often raided and ridded by disize so they wouldnt have found it so different probaly even more fun since they went on a adventure, since they basicly died where they where born. battles where probaly scary yes but there where not that many casaulties like in ww1 the many casaulties where mostly beceuse of the routs. but there was still loads of disize. and also they get paid much more if they do well they can be promoted to samurai in the earlier senguko jidai wich can lead their families out of the missery as living as a farmer. but it still depends on the person and position in society. my point is that being a soldier was probaly sometimes even better then staying at home.
@@goodcomrade2949 It truly all depends, you are right, an Ashigaru who performed well could get a promotion, maybe given a title or some land, but those were few and far between. Peasent life in those days wasnt so hot I agree, but being on the bottom of the command chain as well as being expendable to some degree, plus having to do a vast majority of the manual labor in the camp....no, It would have been neither glamourus or fun. Plus if your Clan that you were from wasnt so succesful in battle it would be a decent chance you would get beheaded....either during a battle or after a siege. There are examples of clemency after seiges, but many examples of brutality as well...again, it would be a difficult existence and having a couple handfuls of rice to eat a day would be difficult over a long campaign season. I am happy however to agree to disagree...happened a long time ago and your sources might say something different to mine. One place we can agree is that the period is fascinating and fun to read about.
武田軍20000VS上杉軍13000の戦い。武田軍は12000を妻女山にやり、本隊を8000にしたから守りの戦いを強いられた。武田軍の動きを察知した上杉軍は夜に山を下り、武田軍の本隊に突っ込んで乱戦となった。武田軍が戦死者3000、上杉軍も3000の戦死者を出す壮絶な戦いとなった。
that sutra chant when Uesugi Army appeared is chilling 10/10
we need more movies like this now, where its just a fuckload of extras used as soldiers like in waterloo. That would be rad af
Extras give it a sense of scale that I think CGI just can't replicate at the moment.
The Entire Soviet Red Army was used as extras in Waterloo.
We could use worldwide weaboos to provide the Katanas, and just teach them the basics of Sengoku period tactics lemaoo
@@hamiltormo5316 the fact that you know all that shit makes it obvious that you're a massive weeb yourself, I dont judge however to each their own
@@imightbearacist6613 It is obvious that the comment is a joke, and should not be taken seriously.
Plus, it's a comment on the internet!
Take a chill pill!
And what if I watch anime? Is it wrong?
I don't know why I love so much about Samurai and their culture. Now in the 21st century, some of them in Japan still keep their tradition and their custom alive which I loved the most.
Which would be a joke in the eyes or Sengoku samurai, because most of the so called samurai culture was a Edo period forgery when the samurai were no more than poor fedual lords or lowly guard for wealthy merchants. The only samurai culture that is not a joke would be Oribe-ryu Chato, which most westerners can hardly understand, let alone its appreciation.
@@fsdds1488
I would even say that it was more the Meji period mystifying the Samurai than the Edo did.
@@therac197 True, I would say Edo period laid many foundations for future interpretations of Bushido, and militarists during Meiji and Taisho period elaborated those concepts into what we know as Bushido today, in the due course mystifying many ancient figures to set example for their version of Bushido code and promote militarist ideals, and the neo-militarist represented by Mishima Yukio further modernised its concept to support their cultural defense theory, formulating the far right sentiment we see today.
日本合戦モノ、なかなか壮大でスケール大きな合戦もののが計画されない。全国の合戦は迫力あって、、決して飽きさせない戦国モノができる
Japanese samurai warriors are actually the best; very extremely reliable, tough, and also honorable 🇯🇵⚔️🇯🇵🪖🇯🇵
Wow, an actual realistic battle with soldiers fighting in formations not Hollywood scattered duels 1 vs 1 without any order.
More likely to survive without the order that these people had to face bk then
Parts of this were filmed in Canada my dad was one of the red soldiers.
Red with the four diamond emblem are the Takeda. The dark blue with the Japanese hanji are the Uesugi. The two clans were legendary rivals during the Sengoku Jidai.
4:13 This is a Japanese sutra called Bishamonten Shingon.
毘沙門天真言 [ON BAYSHIRA MAN DAYA SOWAKA].
It is said to be good to chant it 108 times.
In Hinduism too, many mantras are supposed to be chant 108 times.
Do you know what are they doing at 8:40?
Suwa Taisha shrine, one of the oldest shrines in Japan,
is located within Takeda's territory.
The Suwashu are the guardians of this territory.
czcams.com/video/pQJQ-eGHH8Y/video.html
This is called Suwa-daiko from the Suwa region.
The purpose of the performance is to inspire the morale of soldiers on the battlefield.
It seems to have been an eyesore for Kenshin.
@@priyesh3357 war drums got embushed
Move swift as the wind, be closely formed like the wood, attack like the fire and be still as the mountain - Takeda Shingen.
風林火山(ΦωΦ)
Woah, you brought me back to this video.
You know what is good about this japanese show? Its the way they portray the battle, actually using military formations and not that stuff of ignoring the line and start pushing and rekting enemy lines
This is an exception, also some of the newer shows did quite well in historical accuracy.
@@fsdds1488 outlaw king did some good things, yet they failed with absolute historical accurate combat and martial arts (kind of an ok to that) and some of the armors just... Over sized, broken mail coats... That probably didnt happen. The King tried, did some good too but that cavalry charge with swords and some of the armors... Just Meh. Vikings messed everything up with biker leather vests here and there and Knightfall... Decent show, but with alot of historical errors (many on purpose)
@@EduardoFerreira-gi7wo Just watched Alatrise, the pike push is very on spot, the only downside is that they still broke formation and became a brawl.
fs dds
Doesn’t the frontlines of Pike formations often devolve to chaotic brawling once their pikes have been broken or the enemy gets too close tho?
I'm really impressed with the acting these horses did.
I've heard that this film had the highest budget for horses out of any movie.
I live 5 mins away from the battle field and I drive pass there everyday to work. It's nice knowing many people around the world knows about my home town. Team Uesugi baby!!!
Boo, got to be Team Takeda, can you imagine if they had joined forces and gone after the Tokugawa and Oda, they admired each other, i wonder if it had ever crossed their minds??
why is Uesugi better than Takeda?
@@Petey0707 They are not, otherwise the Uesugi would have marched on Kyoto, but they didnt, Shingen on the other hand beat a combined force of Tokugawa and Nobunaga Samurai, in fact he decimated them, Ieyasu barely got away with his life..
@@OldAgeTeddyboy They almost did, crazy enough. Takeda Shingen’s son Takeda Katsuyori and Uesugi Kenshin entered into an alliance in 1578 to defeat Oda and Tokugawa, but he fell ill to esophageal cancer.
@@OldAgeTeddyboy thats like napoleon winning the coalition war, a dream, an idea hahah

A great scene for Battle of Kawanakajima here. Absolutely love it 🙂.
At 4:02 the sort of mantra during the march is so powerful, it's really sort of creepy. It's the soundtrack of the movie right ? It almost seems like it was the troops that chanted that. That.... wasn't a thing right ?
Great video
English subtitles would be nice.
they are speaking English!! 10:36
full movie with subs is in youtube now
I would love to see a full dramatized TV show about either end or the whole Sengoku Jidai era. I wanted to add that I saw brief history of this era and at the end the exchange of power was swift and brutal. Which is why I think it would make for a good TV show kind of like Rome.
There are so many Japanese taiga dramas regarding the Sengoku period.
That chant sounds like a prayer before the battle about to start
10:36 "SHIT"!

must have learned from British merchant.
I've come back to this video three times just to click this time link and laugh

One of my favorite war movies. :)
Actually the battle plan for this battle was Yamamoto kansuke`s, it was his idea to seperate the army in the hope of catching kenshin unaware, but kenshin must have has the same idea, this was the 4th battle of kawanakajima and the bloodiest, it's also where Kansuke would commit seppuku for putting his lord in danger, it's also where Shingen and Kenshin would meet on the battlefield or more importantly Kenshin would get inside Shingens camp and attack him, Shingen not having time to draw his sword used his battle fan to ward of the blows from Kenshin's sword, after this Kenshin was forced from Shingens camp and retired from the battlefield, Takeda Shingen stayed, this would be a Takeda Victory, it wasn't the last time these two foes would face each other there was to be a fifth meeting at Kawanakajima, which was pretty much a staring contest with minor skirmishes..
Thanks for the info Teddyboy 👍👍👍👍👍
I think Yamamoto Kansuke appears in the movie, with a huge scar across his face.
@@johneaton25 Im a wealth of information when it comes to Takeda Shingen and the Generals under him..

Swadha is a indian term which comes from sanskrit "Swaha" which means sacrifice and glory tl(to the person/deity/god).
"Agnaye Swaha" means glory and sacrifice (butter, milk, cream or, other things) to the Agni or, fire (in sanskrit). Here Agni is the personification or, deitified force of Fire.

Why did Shingen's voice here similiar to the battle speeches in Total War: Shogun 2? Was he the same voice actor?
all generals and daimyos in shogun 2 uses the same battle speeches and voice actor, shingen's voice can be heard during the cutscenes like the intro, realm divide and victory

Fun fact, "Memoirs of the former Uesugi retainers" has revealed that Kenshin at the later stage of this battle was ambushed by a small force of routed Takeda soldiers and has his elite Hatamoto samurai defeated, he barely eascaped the slaughter because his two retainers, Honjo Shigenaga and Nagao Fujikage brought reinforcements and saved him, later he would accuse these two man of disloyalty because they have the delusion of being their master's saviour and had Shigenaga killed, Fujikage was informed of this incident and rebelled to save his own life, this showed how a jerk and weak ass Kenshin is in real life.

@@bitTorrenter No, its a common practice at the time to capture civilians and sold them as slaves, but Kenshin in specific preferred massacre more than looting population and wealth.
The foley guy needs a wider repertoire. Otherwise, this is an amazing piece of work. Recognizing that the bulk of the actors are amateur reenactors, you could definitely tell that some 'units' weren't as veteran as others; their discipline letting them down.
Is this from some documentary I am not familiar with?
