Earlier this week I found a nice gem regarding to the Battle of Okehazama on YouTube. The segment is hosted by historian Kaku Kozo (I have several of his books regarding to Nobunaga) and artist Mami Nakamura. Mrs. Nakamura has recently painted a beautiful portrait of Nohime. Speaking of Nohime, Kaku Kozo mentions that Nohime was not at the Honnoji and she lived until 1612. I agree with both of them. Nohime passed away in 1612. Kaku Kozo mentions Daitokuji subtemple Sokenin where Nohime's grave is located.
As for Okehazama, one of Yoshimoto's main weak points was his lack of diligence and the loss of advisor Taigen Sessai. I do believe that if Sessai was still alive, Yoshimoto might not have marched to Kyoto/Owari or the Battle of Okehazama would never had happen. My opinion is that Nobunaga feared Sessai.
Ota Gyuichi The Chronicle of Lord Nobunaga was mentioned. He wrote Okehazamayama (Mt. Okehazama). As always, the rainstorm was noted as well as Nobunaga's visit to Atsuta Shrine. Believe or not, this video is informative and highly recommend to those who love Nobunaga and the Battle of Okehazama.
Tenka no tame!
