The 2025 Awards are here!
Book of the year: Tenyuu wa Nobunaga ni ari. This fictional novel written by Iwamuro Shinobu is fantastic. While the book is fiction, it contains a lot of historical information than your usual non-fiction written material. Highly recommend it and a must read.
Historian of the year: Touken This award is a tad different from the usual historian awards. Touken is an armor, weapons, and woodblock print museum located in Nagoya. That being said, you can spend hours here learning about samurai armor, swords, spears, bows, and guns. It is one of my favorite museums in Japan.
Blog posts of the year: There are two of them: Atsuta Public Off-limits Notice (translated in English) and Kiyosu Minoji. Atsuta Public Off-limits Notice Nobunaga's first document as Fujiwara Nobunaga. Kiyosu Minoji, the road that Nobunaga depart from Kiyosu Castle in the early hours of The Battle of Okehazama.
Movie of the year: Ran Without a doubt, Ran is probably the best Sengoku Era movie ever made. The reason why it is the movie of the year is due to the unfortunate death of actor Tatsuya Nakadai.
Tenka no tame!
