I did some artwork drawing a young Nobunaga during his "Owari no Utsuke" days and it turned out okay. Here is a passage from Ota Gyuichi's Shincho-Ko ki (Chronicle of Lord Nobunaga), pp. 58-9.
"As for young Nobunaga's manner: He had on a bathrobe (yukatabira) with its sleeves removed, wore half-trousers (hanbakama) over it, and carried any number of pouches for flints and that sort of thing around his waist. He kept his hair straight up like a tea whisk, tied with crimson and fresh-green cords. He bore a great sword with a vermilion sheath and ordered all the samurai of his retinue to outfit themselves in vermilion."
Nobunaga no tame!
