Gifu Nobunaga Matsuri Nohime Video

 Here is a short video regarding Nobunaga's lovely wife Nohime (1535-1612) during the 2026 Gifu Nobunaga Matsuri. Nohime was truly a Sengoku beauty.

2026 Gifu Nobunaga Matsuri II

 Here is a video regarding the 2026 Gifu Nobunaga Matsuri. I as mentioned earlier, the parade quality has dropped off. Saito Dosan, Luis Frois, and Oichi used participate. Unfortunately, those days are no more. Nohime was beautiful as always and Nobunaga always has, always will be in command, cool and collected.

2026 Gifu Nobunaga Matsuri I

 Here is Nobunaga and Nohime during the 2026 Gifu Nobunaga Matsuri. Unfortunately, the parade was short and the quality has dropped off somewhat. That being said, I enjoyed myself being there. I will write more about this topic in the coming days.

Tenka no tame!

Taigan Nobunaga

 The Nobunaga portrait at Taigan Hakubutsukan. This photo is from a postcard I bought at the museum. I do highly recommend one to visit the Taigan Museum to see exhibits related to Nobunaga and other Sengoku Warlords.

Museum Reopening I

 Here are some pictures from the reopening Gifu Museum of History. Nobunaga's Owari no Utsuke Era clothing is on display as well as Saito Dosan' Mino no Mamushi. Since there has been a lot changes to the museum, for example, one can easily participate in the many hands-on activities the museum now provides. Unfortunately, the museum library has been greatly reduced to nothing. However, there are a lot more documents on display. More pictures and information will be posted soon.

Museum Reopening

 Yesterday, I participated in the opening ceremony of the reopening of the Gifu Museum of History. I was overwhelmed by the number of new exhibits related to Nobunaga. In the end, it was a positive experience. I plan to write another post in full detail in the near future.

Saikoji

 About little over a year ago I visited Saikoji. Saikoji is a Jodo temple. It is also the home of a beautiful Nobunaga memorial tower (kuyouto). Saikoji is located in Omi Hachiman. Saikoji can be reached by a 15 minute walk from JR Omi Hachiman Station.
