It was well known and written that in early 1581Nobunaga held a huge cavalcade in Kyoto. That being said, Nobunaga held another one later that year in Azuchi. It was a smaller scale, but just as successful.
Chronicle of Lord Nobunaga (p. 408)
"On the first day of the Eighth Month, Lord Nobunaga staged a cavalcade on horseback with the warriors of the Five Home Provinces and neighboring provinces who were in attendance at Azuchi. Nobunaga was dressed in white, wore a hat with his court robes, and sported chaps of tiger skin. He rode a gray horse. Lord Konoe as well as each member of the Oda family wore a white summer kimono as undergarment and over it either another summer kimono of raw silk or one dyed in a design of azalea flowers, with one sleeve hanging loosely down from the shoulder. Their formal trousers were made severally of brocade, damask, and embroidery or of material dusted with gold. All participants wore hats, each to his own taste, and rode their horses in court robes. Huge crowds watch the spectacle."
Tenka no tame!
