Yoshimoto's Funeral Video


 As I posted earlier, there was a discovery of the document named Tentakuji Denhinko which describes what happened between Yoshimoto's death at Okehazama to his funeral.  Owada Tetsuo has a nice video on this.  He states that once Yoshimoto was killed at Okehazama, Okabe Motonobu, who was the commander of Narumi Castle at the time requested Yoshimoto's head.  Nobunaga agreed and Okabe Motonobu retreated to Sunpu.  With the weather being so hot, Yoshimoto's body was buried at Daisyoji Temple, Ushikubo in Achi Prefecture.  Tetsuo explains the memorial service being performed there as well as the procedures.  Then Tetsuo goes into great detail about Tentakuji, a temple that was abandoned during the Meiji Era.  Near there is Fushunin, a small temple which has a small mausoleum for Yoshimoto.  A memorial service is performed there and afterwards, everyone walks to Rinzaiji, a major temple for the Imagawa.  Tetsuo explains his participation in the services.  Then comes the introduction of the Tentakuji Denhinko and Sekiguchi/Sena Yoshihiro (Ujizumi) 1518-62.  His daughter was known as Princess Sena or later known as Lady Tsukiyama.  She was the wife of Tokugawa Ieyasu.  Sena Yoshihiro then took committed seppuku at Sunpu in 1562.  Owada then mention the document was written in 1563.  He gives some caution as well.  Great video in general.  Again, all in Japanese.


Nobunaga no tame!
