Nobutada's Pages

 There was an incident in 1579 with Nobutada's (Nobunaga's son) pages resulting in death.

The Chronicle of Lord Nobunaga (p. 309)

"On the first day of the Forth Month, two of Lord Chujo Nobutada's pages, Saji Shintaro and Kanamori Jinshichiro, got into an argument. After running Jinshichiro through with his sword, Shintaro disesmboweled himself. Both men were only about twenty years old. High and low were impressed by the maturity of the deed."


Tenka no tame!
