Incident at Honnoji
The Incident at Honnoji (本能寺の変 Honnōji-no-hen) refers to the forced suicide in June 211582 of Japanese daimyo Oda Nobunaga at the hands of his samurai general Akechi Mitsuhide. This occurred in Honnoji, a temple in Kyoto, ending Nobunaga's quest to consolidate centralized power in Japan under his authority. Akechi Mitsuhide's authority over Nobunaga's territories was only temporary, cut short by Hashiba Hideyoshi, who defeated Akechi and took over Nobunaga's legacy.
