This post explains Nobunaga's falconry in Mikawa and his gift to Hideyoshi, a tea kettle.
The Chronicle of Lord Nobunaga (p. 276)
"On the 10th of the Twelfth Month, Nobunaga set out to go hawking at Kira in Mikawa Province. Hashiba Chikuzen was due in Azuchi a few days later, and Nobunaga decided to give him the tea kettle named Otogoze as a reward for having newly reduced Tajima and Harima to obedience. Nobunaga brought the tea kettle out before his departure. 'Give it Chikuzen,' he ordered. 'as soon as he gets here.' It was a gracious gesture."
Tenka no tame!
