Shoko —Nagoya, 14 May 1552
Nobuhide, suffering from an epidemic, got various prayers and treatments, but he did not heal and finally on 3 March, passed away as young as 42 years old. Life is ephemeral, as usual; it is sad. It is just like a wind blows off dews on thousands of grass leaves, or like an endless cloud spreads out to hide the light of the full moon.
While alive he built a temple and named it Banshoji. Named Togen as a posthumous name, he was celebrated by holding an alms-giving ceremony, inviting priests from all over the province; it became a big funeral ceremony.
At that time trainee monks travelled up and down the road to Kanto region. There were about 300 monks, Nobunaga's companions are the chief retainers - Hayashi, Hirate, Aoyama, and Naito. His younger brother, Kanjuro, was accompanied by his vassals, Shibata Gonroku, Sakuma Daigaku, Sakuma Jiuemon, Hasegawa, Yamada and so on.
Nobunaga showed up to burn incense. Nobunaga, then, armed with a long-handled sword and a wakizashi wrapped with straw ropes, with his hair tied into a chasen-shaped topknot, without wearing hakama trousers, went to the altar of Buddha, grabbed a handful of incense powder, hurled it to the altar, and went home. His yonger brother, Kanjuro, wearing a sharply creased kataginu vest and hakama trousers, followed the custom in the correct manner. The people variously said that Nobunaga was a great fool as had been rumoured. Among them, a travelling monk from Tsukushi Province, reportedly, said that that was the man who shall be the Landlord.(Ota Gyuichi, The Chronicle of Lord Nobunaga)
信長、御焼香に御出づ。其の時の信長公御仕立、長つかの大刀、わきざしを三五なわにてまかせられ、髪はちやせんに巻き立て、袴もめし候はで、仏前へ御出でありて、抹香をくはつと御つかみ候て、仏前へ投げ懸け、御帰る。御舎弟勘十郎は折目高なる肩衣、袴めし候て、あるべき如きの御沙汰なり。三郎信長公を、「例の大うつけよ」と、執々評判候ひしなり。其の中に筑紫の客僧一人、「あれこそ国は持つ人よ」と、申したる由なり。(信長公記)

第二回、ジャニーズとほぼ一般人の会。(俺の記憶によれば途中までスプラやってて、途中から)オーバークックやって、腹捩れるほど笑った会。学んだのは、オーバークックをする時は指示役を決めてその人の話をよく聞くこと、ちゃんと返事をすること、でした。
