Honnouji is a well-known scene in Japanese history as the site of Daimyo Oda Nobunaga’s final battle. His trusted general, Akechi Mitsuhide launched a rebellion at the temple in 1582, and destroyed Nobunaga’s life and rule.  Nobunaga was the most powerful daimyo in late 16th century, and attempted to unify Japan during the Sengoku Period.

“Without destruction, there is no creation, there is no change” – Daimyo Oda Nobunaga
