He is most famous for his rivalry  with Uesugi Kenshin. Both Takeda and Kenshin were renowned for their  martial skill on the battlefield. In a series of four battles the two  Daimyo fought to a draw in almost every battle. The last battle between  the two was reported to have the fiercest fighting. Kenshin broke  through Takeda's lines and came after Takeda with his sword. Takeda  fought Kenshin with only a steel war fan. At the end of the battle  neither Daimyo had defeated the other. However, despite this battle as  well as Takeda's victory over the combined armies of Nobunaga and  Tokugawa, Takeda finally succumbed to old age and died 52. This a  commemorative sword of Takeda Shingen and the Period of the Warring  States.\u003cbr\u003e     \u003cbr\u003e     \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e        \u003cul\u003e      \u003cli\u003e Blade: The blade of the sword has been hand made with High Carbon Steel.
