Camp - Jindate

Japanese: 陣立 - じんだて

It is also called "preparation," "battle preparation," or "battle method." The term "battle method" is found in the "Nihon Shoki" (Chronicles of Japan), in the article on November 12th year of the Tenmu era, "Dinghai," about training in battle methods in various provinces, and there are also instances of battle methods being taught in the Nara and early Heian periods. In ancient times, battle methods were Chinese, as is known from the November 760 (Tenpyo Houji 4) when six people, including the sword-granting chamberlain Kasukabe Sanseki, were sent to Dazaifu to learn Zhuge Liang's "Eight Battles," Sun Tzu's "Nine Places," and "Management's Battle." The influence of such Chinese battle methods was evident throughout the Middle Ages, and it is said that the Takeda clan of Kai created the "Eight Battles" battle method during the Warring States period, and many drawings of battle methods were created during the Edo period.

Japanese:

備立て，陣備え，陣法ともいう。陣法という語は《日本書紀》の天武紀12年11月丁亥条に諸国に陣法を習わしめた記事があるのをはじめ，奈良時代，平安時代初期には陣法教習の事実がある。古代における陣法は760年(天平宝字4)11月授刀舎人春日部三関ら6人を大宰府に派遣し，大弐吉備真備から諸葛亮の八陣，孫子の九地および経営向背を学ばせたことで知られるように，中国の戦法であった。このような中国戦法の影響は中世を通じて顕著であるといってよく，戦国時代に甲斐武田氏が八陣の陣法を創始したといわれるのをはじめ，江戸時代には陣立の図面が多く作成された。
