The Battle of Tetorigawa (手取川の戦い, Tetorigawa no Tatakai) took place near the Tetori River in Japan's Kaga Province in 1577, between the forces of Oda Nobunaga against Uesugi Kenshin. This was destined to be Kenshin's last great battle. Kenshin tricked Nobunaga into launching a frontal attack across the Tedorigawa and defeated him. Having suffered the loss of 1,000 men, the Oda withdrew south. The battle site is in the modern-day Ishikawa Prefecture.
