Oda Nobunaga's Home Page

[Otagiri Tatsuzou]

"In 1998 there used to be a native Nagoyanese setting out to make homepages just about the real-life Oda Nobunaga -- in English -- and I waited in fiery enthusiasm for it to materialize -- but it never got past third page. I'm not Japanese, that far you might have gleaned from everything I have rapped of; naturally I thought a native person would have been better to tackle this kind of job. But like I said, I was unlucky. So my personal Oda-related pages -- which were made in 1996 -- were assembled as this bin in 2000, and I've been keeping on updating it until the glasshouse effect finally takes it toll on human race, or until Ito Hideaki is elected Prime Minister (in which case I'll switch all pages in my circuitous site to his trek), or until the next Windows crash, whichever comes first.

There are 103 pages about Oda Nobunaga at this site today. No kidding. It's still growing, as new facts or absolutely the opposite turns up every now and then."

A man's life of 50 years under the sky
is nothing compared to
the age of this world.
Life is but a fleeting dream, an illusion --
Is there anything that lasts forever?

[Saionji Shonagon]

The last time you sent me something with the phrase "Life is but a dream" you were trying to get me to recreate something ELSE.

Something about a long dance on a short pier? It's all about the art, you know.

You say the sweetest things.

It's all about the art, you know.

If you think a wet kosode contest is art.
