1569 battle of Tatarahama was part of the struggles between the Ōtomo and Mōri samurai clans during Japan'sSengoku period , for control of the island ofKyūshū .The battle took place in the aftermath of a successful siege by the Mōri of the Ōtomo's
Tachibana castle , which sat just outside the boundaries of today's Fukuoka City. The two armies met on the shores ofHakata Bay , at Tatarahama, but were evenly matched, and both retreated.In order to end the deadlock, the Ōtomo made an alliance with the
Amago clan . The Mōri clan's battles with this larger allied force occupied it to such an extent thatYamanaka Yukimori andAmago Katsuhisa , as part of their arrangement with the Ōtomo, were able to takeIzumo province , some distance away onHonshū , and that the Mōri became pressured into abandoning Tachibana.References
