22:13, 17 October 2025 ART talk contribs posted a new comment on Osaka Castle (Chikuma) (I went with 'Osaka' because that's what the village is called, but I see ranmaru does list it as 'Kosaka'. Will look further into it, thank you...)

22:22, 28 September 2025 Eric talk contribs posted a new comment on Enryakuji (“Did he commit sacrilege or deliver heavenly justice to a corrupt cult?” In my view, it’s neither. It was an act of desperation. By the time Nobunaga ordered the destruction of Enryakuji, the Azai-Asakura alliance had already withdrawn from the mountain, but the threat they could return remained. The Genki Rebellions were flaring on multiple fronts, and Nobunaga was simultaneously engaged with militant monk forces at Ishiyama Honganji. Enryakuji monks, Azai-Asakura and Ishiyama Honganji monks...)
