The siege of Toyama was a battle during the Azuchi-Momoyama period (16th century) of Japan.
History
During the late summer of August 1585, Toyotomi Hideyoshi had led his army of around 100,000 soldiers against Sassa Narimasa, a once former ally many years past.
During the siege of Toyama, Toyotomi's senior commander Maeda Toshinaga would play a very prominent role within the overall attack. In the end, Narimasa's defence was shattered, thus allowing Toyotomi supremacy over Etchu province.{{cite book|last1=Turnbull|first1=Stephen|title=The Samurai Sourcebook|date=1998|publisher=Cassell & Co|location=London|isbn=9781854095237|page=236}}
