If you are watching Kirin ga Kuru like me, you have notice Nobunaga's wife Nohime sitting in a position called tatehiza suwari. This is not the normal seiza sitting style you often see in historical dramas. Historian Owada Tetsuo has a short clip on the subject and provides some examples. I have one picture below what tatehiza suwari might have looked like at the time. Interesting for sure. Unfortunately there is no old portraits of Nohime. There is one modern portrait at Gifu Castle and her statue at Kiyosu Castle.
