I was able to see the new Nobunaga and Kitsuno and their children statue with my own eyes for the first time. The statue is located near the Meitetsu Hotei Station in Konan City. Later during my visit I was able to take a picture of Kitsuno's grave. Kitsuno (1528?-66) was Nobunaga's concubine. She was the daughter of Ikoma Iemune and gave birth to Nobunaga's children Nobutada, Nobukatsu, and Tokuhime. Unfortunately, she passed away at young age and her posthumous name was Kyuan Keisho Daizenjo-ni. The family, Kyushoji received 660 koku from Nobunaga. Kyushoji was abandoned in 2022 due to budget constraints. In 2023, area became a children's park. The Kyushoji graveyard still exists and one a good day visit Kitsuno's grave along with the Ikoma family.
