Happy 2016


Happy 2016 everyone!  Normally, I would post something about Nobunaga's famous New Year's celebration of 1574 at Gifu Castle.  The celebration that included the gold lacquered skulls of Azai Nagamasa, Azai Hisamasa, and Asakura Yoshikage.  However, on New Year's Eve, I received an excellent book on Okehazama in the mail by the Kajino Family.  Okehazama Kassen Kenkyu by Sakakibara Kunihiko is one of the latest published works on the Battle of Okehazama.  Published in October of 2015.

Also I ordered Okehazam no Kassen by Yasumi Takeda.  That book was published in 1982.

Nobunaga no tame!
Tenka no tame!
