Crane Offering


 

Nobunaga offers a crane for inspection. This incident took place early 1578.

The Chronicle of Lord Nobunaga (p. 280)

"On the 10th of the First Month, Nobunaga offered a crane, one caught by his falcon, for His Majesty's inspection in the imperial palace. It was immediately put before the sovereign, who was impressed and not a little pleased. Nobunaga presented another crane caught by his own falcon to Lord Konoe. The next day, Lord Konoe made a ceremonial visit to Azuchi to express his gratitude for the gift."


Tenka no tame!
