Brief Saito Dosan Video

 I do not know if I posted this video before, but this is a brief video on Nobunaga's father-in-law Saito Dosan.  It is not bad.  The video gives a short history about Dosan and his rise to power. If one has read my epilogue in The Viper and the Fool, you will understand why I went tge traditional route instead of the new fashionable one.  There are reasons for it.  For example, the Rokkaku sent an army for help Nobunaga during the Battle of Okehazama.  Nobunaga won and Saito Yoshitatsu knew Nobunaga was going to attack Mino soon.  So he had to make a deal with the Rokkaku.  Since Yoshitatsu was the senior partner in their relationship, the chances were high that he wanted to erase his father's legacy.

Also two key points were made near the end of the video.  One, the alliance between the Saito and Oda completed Dosan's grip on Mino along with the ouster the Toki family.  Second, is the old tale about Nohime being born.  The tale about baby vipers ripping apart their mother's womb when being born.

Nobunaga no tame!
