Soga–Mononobe conflict
The Teibi Incident (丁未の乱, Teibi no Ran), also known in Japanese as Teibi no Hen (丁未の変), Teibi no Eki (丁未の役), or Mononobe no Moriya no Hen (物部守屋の変) was a battle fought in 587 between Soga no Umako and Mononobe no Moriya. The battle took place at the riverside of the Ekagawa (餌香川) river in Kawachi Province, Japan near Mount Shigi.
The Mononobe clan, the most powerful opponent of Buddhism, was practically exterminated in the battle.[1][2][3][4]
The battle is sometimes known in English as the Battle of Shigisan.
