So I went to Tokyo-3 for Golden Week. :)
This is the amazing view atop Mt. Kintoki (金時山) of Sengokuhara (仙石原), that is Misato and Shinji’s vista of Tokyo-3 in the classic Neon Genesis Evangelion series.
I climbed for 3 hours roundtrip to get this view at the summit. It was steeper and rockier than expected, but also an absolutely amazing climb which such varied scenery and very few people.

This is, according to Wikipedia, a replica of the armor that would have been worn by Tachibana Ginchiyo (1569-1602). Ginchiyo was for a time the head of her clan during the Sengoku period.
Here are some extracts from her wikipediapage:
“She led the clan in a period of difficulty at only 6 years old. She inherited her father’s all interest such as the status of castellan, territory, belongings and the famous sword Raikiri (雷切, Lightning Cutter). She recruited women to become her elite guard and trained all the maidens of the castle in warfare skills to intimidate visitors and to prevent it if other clans attack her domain.
(….)
In 1592 Hideyoshi ordered that Tachibana Muneshige and Tachibana Naotsugu participate of the Invasion to the Korea under the command of Kobayakawa Takakage. Hideyoshi built Nagoya castle as a base to launch attacks on Korea. The castle was relatively close to Ginchiyo’s residence in Hizen Province, it is said that Hideyoshi invited Ginchiyo to visit the castle several times when her husband was away. However, when Hideyoshi saw Ginchiyo with her armed women, he left fearing her personality.”
Well, she was badass.

I wonder why it took Nobu 2 years to start worrying about evil because Hieizan was torched. Did all hell start breaking loose in Kyoto in 1571 and 1572?
I don’t remember off the top of my head.
Or maybe the article writer got the date wrong.
Or maybe Nobu has other reasons to be worried.
Or maybe the priest was writing in code, and what Nobu asked is actually “Is the emperor mad that I drove his brother away?” (the head monk of Enryakuji is the emperor’s brother)
