It is that time of the year where I post Nobunaga's participation at the Gion Matsuri. Nobunaga's participation took place in 1578. As for myself, I have seen it personally a few times. You will notice that Nobunaga ordered his men to carry hand weapons and just enjoy the festival.
The Chronicle of Lord Nobunaga (p. 286)
"Tiger, Sixth Month, 14th day: Nobunaga watched the Gion Festival. He had told his horse guards and pages that there was no need for bows, spears, halberds, or other hand weapons, so they carried none. After viewing they festival, he gave leave to his life guards and went hawking straight away with about ten pages."
Tenka no tame!
