"ATAKE BUNE" Japanese Sengoku-era Warship

About Atakebune
Atakebune The strongest and largest warship from the end of the Muromachi period to the beginning of the Edo period.
Its large hull is heavily armed and slow, but during combat it was propelled by dozens of rowers and made small turns. In addition, dozens to hundreds of samurai were able to board the large hull.
Japanese Navy vessels since the late Muromachi period include Atakebune, as well as the small and fast Sekibune and Kobayabune, which is a lighter version of Sekibune, with Atakebune at its core.

In terms of modern ships, Atebune is like a battleship, Sekibune is like a cruiser, and Kobayabune is like a destroyer. This is just an association with the size of the hull.

※Muromachi Period. 1336 to 1568
※Edo Period. 1603-1869
