Here is a small video on Atsuta Jingu located in the heart of Nagoya. On the day of the Battle of Okehazama, Nobunaga and his army arrived at Atsuta Shrine around eight in the morning. Kiyosu Castle to Atsuta is approximately seven miles. Atsuta to Fort Tange is around five miles. The video shows Kamichikama Shrine as well as the Nobunaga Victory Wall. When the wall was built, it measured 650 feet long and 10 feet in height. The wall was built with mud, lime, and grease.

"On Tensho 4, the Year of Fire and the Rat, Eleventh Month, 21st day, Nobunaga was again advanced to high office, being named Minister of the Middle (Naidaijin). As before, Nobunaga assigned landed estates to import members of the regency lineage and the rest of the high nobility. To the imperial palace he offered two hundred gold, aloes wood, rolls of cloth, and a plenitude of other items, presenting these gifts to His Majesty's inspection. The emperor graciously deigned to bestow court garments on Nobunaga. There could be no honor greater than this."

Last night I found a nice video on Banshoji Temple. It is the home and grave of Oda Nobunaga's father, Oda Nobuhide (1511?-51/52?). It is located in the heart of Nagoya in the Osu Kannon district. Nobuhide constructed the temple in 1540. He was the son of Oda Nobusada and he was known as the "Tiger of Owari" Owari no tora. Nobuhide fought the Saito, Imagawa, and Matsudaira families throughout his career. He was the lord of Shobata, Furuwatari, and Suemori Castles.

Here is the second trailer for the new Shogun series starring Hiroyuki Sanada. It will air in 2024. So far the series looks like a coin flip.

Here is another passage from The Chronicle of Lord Nobunaga that took place in 1579.
(p. 325) "On the 4th of the Ninth Month, Hashiba Chikuzen no Kami Hideyoshi came to Azuchi from Harima Province. He reported having reached an agreement with Ukita of Bizen regarding the terms of their pardon and asked Nobunaga to issue a vermilion-seal letter to them. But Nobunaga said that it was miscreant of Hideyoshi to make a deal with the enemy without asking for instructions first, and sent him flying back to Harima."

1,300 post and still going strong. Thank you for your support. Here is another passage from the The Chronicle of Lord Nobunaga (p. 241) This takes place in 1575.
"On the 3rd of the Tenth Month, the men whom Nobunaga had sent to the Far North for the purpose of obtaining falcons brought back fifty. Twenty-three of these Nobunaga bought for himself, and his men acquired the rest."

"I run into Nobunaga's study breathless after hearing a shocking rumor. They are saying that Monkey (Hideyoshi) ordered his men to cut off Ichi's mother-in-law's fingers one a day tillage was finally executed.
Holding my fast-beating heart, I scowl at Nobunaga. `Is it true?'
'Fake news.' He corrects me."
The actual truth is that Azai Nagamasa's mother Ono-tono (d. 1573) did have her fingers removed. It was ordered by Nobunaga who had no love loss of the Azai. It was a gruesome and cruel death.
