Full Oda Nobuhide Video


 

Here is the full Oda Nobuhide video by Ijin Rirekisho. After watching the video a couple of times, I was impressed on how informative it was. It was well known that Nobuhide had a lot of economic advantages over his rivals.  His ports of Tsushima and Atsuta made him enough money to wage a war on two fronts.  Fighting the Saito of Mino as well as the Matsudaira/Imagawa.  Unfortunately he bit off more than he can chew.  He did not unify Owari during his lifetime.  If he did, Nobuhide would have been more powerful economically as well as militarily.  He good at diplomacy as well as making political marriages possible.  Something Nobunaga learned from his father and was skilled at it.  Yes, Nobuhide was optimistic, which was needed during the time of war.  He was skilled at song and kemari as well.

Nobuhide also moved around a lot.  However, only in the Owari domain.  Nagoya, Furuwatari, and Suemori.  Nobunaga did too, but he was more expansive.  Nagoya, Kiyosu, Komaki, Gifu, and Azuchi. It seems that Nobunaga learned that money was key to success as well as a formidable army. Nobunaga would create free tax zones, abolition of toll barriers, and promotion of foreign trade.  This made Nobunaga rich and he was able to purchase high quality firearms and ammunition.  I liked the video and learned some new things.

Nobunaga no tame!
