1523 brawl in Ningbo, China

The Ningbo incident was a 1523 brawl between trade representatives of two Sengoku Japanese daimyō clans — the Ōuchi and the Hosokawa — in the Ming Chinese southeastern coastal city of Ningbo. The Ōuchi pillaged and harmed local residents, causing massive damage. The turmoil resulted in the interruption of the Ming-Japanese trade and led to a surge in piratical (wokou) activity on the Chinese coast.
