Oda Nobumitsu's Grave



 

Oda (Tsuda) Nobumitsu's grave is located at Ryounji Temple near the Shonai River in the Nagoya City area. In the last post I mentioned Nobumitsu's residence was at Inabaji Castle. Here is a description of his death in The Chronicle of Lord Nobunaga (p.75)

"On the 26th of the Eleventh Month that same year, Lord Magosaburo died in a unforseen incident. 'This is the direct punishment for his perjury,' people said. `The Way of Heaven is terrible!' To be sure, the end result was consequent with Lord Kazua no Suke's good fortune."

Nobumitsu was assassinated by Sakai Magohachiro, one of his retainers.


Nobunaga no tame!
