Nohime's Hina Matsuri

 


This is a small passage from Rumi Komonz's Kicho & Nobunaga 2nd Edition on Nohime celebrating Girl's Day with Nobunaga's mother Dota Gozen. (p. 22)

"A few days later, my mother-in-law Lady Dota invites me to the main Suemori Castle to celebrate the annual Girl's Day.

'I love your kimono, Kicho-san.' Lady Dota is full of smiles. 'Gorgeous spring colors.'

'Thank you, Mother. It is from my half-brother Lord Yoshi.'

'I congratulate Lord Yoshi, the new Lord of Gifu.'

'Thank you, Mother. Our father can now enjoy his retirement.'

'Very well, Kicho-san. Now, it's a day just for us Girl's to have fun celebrating the joyous spring season. We don't need to worry about the men.' Lady Dota picks up a porcelain carafe filled with the sweet and fragrant white sake."


Nobunaga no tame!
