Old photo of Senpyo no matsu


Here is an old photo of the Senpyo no matsu (war council pine tree) taken during the late Taisho or early Showa Era. The location is the Arimatsu Okehazama battlefield. Again, many thanks to Mr. Yukio Kajino for the pictures. The area has sure changed, but the spirit of Okehazama among the locals has not and still going strong.

More links with photos of Arimatsu Okehazama festival.

The second link (31) is awesome. The photo of Nobunaga with the spear and finishing off Yoshimoto was classic!

Nobunaga no tame!
