ALEXCIOUS

Conquerer of the Sengoku Period who unified Japan with his broad views and rational intelligence

“If a cuckoo doesn't sing, kill it.” This is the famous poem describing Nobunaga's character. This poem (author unknown) is included in the essay "Kasshi-yawa" written by Matsuura Seizan, the Lord of Hirado domain. The poem expresses Nobunaga as quick-tempered and fierce, but he was also very faithful. He never broke alliances. According to the record of Luis Frois, a writer of "Historia de lapam" (or "Nihonshi" in Japanese), "Nobunaga was tall and skinny, had little beard, a high- pitched voice, and was rough." He also had a great curiosity and was highly interested in the world outside Japan. He preferred western style fashion and wore hats and velvet capes. He went to the battlefield wearing western armor in the later years of his life. He also liked getting along with commoners and liked to entertain people living around the castle, putting decorative lights on Azuchi Castle during the Bon festival.

ZIPANG has made a detailed miniature of the armor worn by the legendary Oda Nobunaga, called "Bottle Armor."

Lord Oda Nobunaga is expressed by the dull shining hawk feathers on the "Maedate" helmet front piece and a purple cape showing his valiance and his strength. You can enjoy your favorite sake while remembering the heroic stories of men who fought during the Sengoku period.
