What a day! Meeting with the planning division of a major banking group this morning, then to City Hall to be one of the judges for the new Toyotomi Hideyoshi tourist route logo, then to Tokyo to attend a book launch as a guest of friend, Mr. Akechi Kenzaburo, a historian and researcher, and the descendant of Akechi Mitsuhide, the samurai who is remembered as the “traitor who killed Oda Nobunaga.” Akechi Kenzaburo now researches the truth about his ancestor, and has uncovered some interesting facts regarding the shocking attack on Nobunaga in 1582. The party was also attended by the ancestors of warlords Kuroda Kanbei and Uesugi Kenshin!
