Nobunaga and Tokichiro Painting


 Here is a painting of Nobunaga and Tokichiro (Hideyoshi).  The painting can be viewed at the Hideyoshi/Kiyomasa Museum located in Nagoya. This painting shows Tokichiro early days as a servant to Nobunaga. Tokichiro spent some time in Totomi Province during the early 1550s, he then returned to Owari and started to serve under Nobunaga around 1558. He also knew the Men of the Fields (Hachisuka Koroku and Maeno Shoemon) extremely well.  This relationship between Tokichiro and the Men of the Fields proved critical during the Battle of Okehazama.


Tenka no tame!
