The History of Current Events

The Tiger and the Dragon IV


Listen Later

The age of the samurai was full of great men and great stories to go along with them. None are more iconic than the tale of Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin, the Tiger of Kai and the Dragon of Echigo. Although Sengoku Jidai is best remembered through the eyes of the three great unifiers, there were stories of bravery, cunning and deceit all throughout the land.
 
 This is the story of the Tiger and the Dragon, and their battle for domination of Eastern Japan.
