It seems that Nobunaga often contributed to repair the Imperial Palace in Kyoto. Again, Nobunaga takes charge and the Palace is repaired.
Chronicle of Lord Nobunaga (p. 219)
"On the first day of the Fourth Month, Nobunaga made a declaration of the following report: Because in recent times the imperial palace had become dilapidated, he ordered repairs to be undertaken some years ago, and the project was duly finished. The imperial nobility, however, had in the course of its decline sold off its estates of land everywhere. Nobunaga therefore gave instructions to Murai Minbu no Jo and Niwa Gorozaemon to implement an act of grace returning their original properties to the nobles. Thus a simultaneous restoration of the sovereign, of the nobility, and of the military was effected, earning Nobunaga a peerless renown. There could be no greater glory in the realm."
Reconstruction work began in 1569 and was finished in 1571.
Nobunaga no tame!
