Asakura clan

Asakura clan

The nihongo|Asakura clan|朝倉氏|Asakura-shi are descendants of Prince Kusakabe (662-689), son of Emperor Temmu (631-686).

The family was a line of "daimyō" (feudal lords) which, along with the Azai clan, opposed Oda Nobunaga in the late 16th century. They were defeated by Nobunaga at the battle of Anegawa in 1570, and all but eliminated when their home castle of Ichijōdani was taken three years later.
