2023 Awards



 Here are the 2023 Awards. This year's list is only two. That being said, they are high quality.

Movie of the Year: The Legend & Butterfly starring Takuya Kimura and Ayase Haruka. I was able to watch the movie earlier this year while in Japan. It was a good movie, even though it was three hours long. The acting was good as well as the costume and design. I did like the movie had two endings. One of the better Nobunaga movies in a long time.

Book of the Year: Wakaki Nobunaga Shirarezaru Hansei by Seishiro Mizuno. I bought this book earlier this year while in Japan. Glad I did. This book covers most or all the landmarks related to Nobunaga in the Owari domain as well as The Battle of Okehazama. Extremely useful and much more compact. It must be said that Seishiro Mizuno is a good friend of mine and I have collaborated with him on the Battle of Okehazama. Sure, we have differences, but that is okay. It is needed to understand the Battle of Okehazama better. There is even a few landmarks related to Gifu as well as museum listings.


Tenka no tame!
