Here is some nice artwork related to Oda Nobuhide's funeral. Nobunaga throwing incense at the tablet is beauty.
The Chronicle of Lord Nobunaga (p. 61)
"When the time came for Nobunaga to burn incense for the deceased, he stepped up to the altar looking like this: He bore his long-hilted sword and dagger stuck in a straw rope that he had wrapped around himself. His hair was tied straight up like a tea whisk. He was not even wearing formal trousers (hakama). He abruptly grabbed a handful of incense powder, threw it at the altar, and left."
Tenka no tame!
