Ryuzoji Takanobu of Hizen province was a rising daimyo that ultimately bit off more than he could chew.  His attempts to suppress the rebellious clans of the Shimabara peninsula in Hizen resulted in an appeal by the Arima clan to by the powerful Shimazu clain of Satsuma.  The Shimazu would ultimately claim both the Ryuzoji lands and the life of Takanobu himself.  Before this untimely demise however, Takanobu was one of the three great daimyo of Kyushu, alongside the Otomo of Bungo province, and the Shimazu of Satsuma.
 
***TEAHOUSE COMMENTARY:  In our Sengoku-jidai, the Ryuzoji name is a distant memory, a minor nuisance crushed under the heel of the Mori clan, who have since turned their attentions to the north.  Their assistance to the Asakura is not enough to prevent the destruction of Kaga by Uesugi forces however.  In the south, the Chosokabe succeed in advancing to the critical Totomi Sea, and shifting the naval fight in their favor.  Hojo and Oda remain locked in a bitter struggle for the heart of Honshu.  Meanwhile, Satomi Yoshihiro of Hitachi enjoys peacefully watching the cherry blossoms fall, and notes the absence of emissaries in his court.
 
***HAIKU:

Seppuku too good
for unpoetic daimyo
just go off yourselves
 
***PLAYERS:
 
Shimazu Yoshihisa - Isaac Zinner (*eliminated 1573*)
Mori Motonari - Jim Atkins
Chosokabe Motochika - Jean-Luc Lefebvre
Asakura Yoshikage - Garry Bledsoe
Oda Nobunaga - Joe Babinsack
Takeda Shingen - Nathan Deily (*eliminated 1572*)

Uesugi Kenshin - Fredrik Blom
Hojo Ujiyasu - Michael Thompson
 
***RETREATS DUE:

Michael has a single retreat, with a single option available.  F Totomi Sea may retreat to Atsumi Bay.  I have automatically retreated this fleet there for now - Michael, please let me know in the next 48 hours if you want to retreat it OTB instead.
 
***DRAW PROPOSAL:
 
A five-way Chosokabe/Mori/Asakura/Uesugi/Hojo draw has been proposed.  Please include your votes with your fall orders on this proposal.  Failure to vote counts as an abstention, not a vote against - so be certain to include your vote!  The vote must have all favorable votes and/or abstentions to pass - a single vote against defeats the proposal.
 
***NEXT DEADLINE:

Fall 1575 will tentatively be due Thursday, July 15th, 1700 EST.  I leave for training on Sunday, and will touch base to confirm connectivity as soon as possible thereafter.
