Asakura Norikage (朝倉 教景, 1477 – September 23, 1555), also known as Asakura Sōteki (朝倉 宗滴), was a Japanese samurai warrior of the latter Sengoku Period.[1] from Asakura clan.
Norikage was the eighth son of Asakura Toshikage.[2]
In 1506, he led the Asakura against the Ikkō-ikki in the Battle of Kuzuryugawa at the Kuzuryū River. In 1555, another engagement occurred in the Battle of Daishoji-omote.[3]
In 1548, he became a priest and changed his name to Soteki; however, this did not keep him from engaging in war. He engaged in his last campaign at the age of 79 against Ikkō adherents(He captured Daishōji castle in 1555.[4]). He died at the age of 82 in 1555.[5] He participated in twelve battles in his life.[6]
