Matsunaga Hisahide Hiragumo Tea Ketttle Video


 Here is a video by historian Owada Tetsuo explaining Matsunaga Hisahide and the famous tea kettle (hiragumo). Near the end of the video, he discusses a document between Nobunaga and the Hosokawa family. If you are in the Kyoto area, you can visit Matsunaga Hisahide's grave at Myoekaiso graveyard. Not far from Myoekaiso graveyard is Shinnyoin, a temple that has a relationship with Nobunaga and Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiaki. As for the tea kettle Hiragumo, it is shaped as a spider crawling on the ground.


Nobunaga no tame!
