Kitsuno Article

 I found a nice article on Nobunaga's concubine Kitsuno (1528?-66).

Kitsuno was from the Ikoma family who were heavily into the ash and oil trade.  She was the daughter of Ikoma Iemune and the mother of Nobunaga's first three children Nobutada, Nobukatsu, and Tokuhime.

While the article is short and brief, one thing stood out.  That is the relationship between Nobunaga and his mother.  The article mentioned that Nobunaga was shunned by his mother (which was true. She preferred Nobuyuki over Nobunaga) and Kitsuno had that gentle womanly touch which attracted Nobunaga.

Nobunaga no tame!
