May 11, is an important day for Nobunaga and Azuchi Castle.
Chronicle of Lord Nobunaga, explains why. (P. 314) "On the 11th of the Fifth Month, the day being propitious, Nobunaga inaugurated the donjon of his castle." This happened in 1579, now the day is somewhat interesting. According to Izawa Motohiko, the book above, this celebration happened on Nobunaga's birthday. (Izawa pp. 155-6). It is often accepted that Nobunaga's birthday is May 12th. For myself, his birthday is either of them depending on your position. As for Izawa, he backs his theory with strong evidence.
Tenka no tame!
