Oyobigawa

 

 

Today I visited the Oyobi River in Gifu. The bottom picture is the Minoji or Mino Path.

The Chronicle of Lord Nobunaga (p. 103)

"Nobunaga immediately galloped forward, about thirty cho [three and a quarter kilometers] from Ora. The two forces made contact at Oyobigawara."

Tenka no tame!

The Myth

 

There is a small park and pond located behind the Shinmachi Hospital which allegedly Nobunaga's head was washed after the Honnoji Rebellion. It is only a myth and it never happened. Nobunaga's body was never found. He was most likely to cremated in the hot flames which the Honnoji burned. I repeat, this well or pond is a myth and a farce.

Nobunaga no tame!
