44 Episode 43: Three Rivers and Paintings

side/Yoshimoto Imagawa

Is Oda remodeling Anxiang Castle?

"We even distribute money to rice and grains as a reward to the people, and the people are happy that they don't have to starve"

"He was clever."

"Ha."

Ozhang's tiger is said to tend to blind me to the triumph of a glorious battle, but is that also the man they call clever Jen?

If we are to remodel the castle, we can mobilize the people and serve them, but then there will be dissatisfaction in the territory. Oda wasn't originally from Mitsugawa, and the area was still rough.

Even the meagre rice and grains that only lift the hunger, the inhabitants will rejoice in tears.

I didn't expect to oppress Matsuhei without waging a war.

"How is Matsuhei?

"You're blistering dissatisfaction. There's nothing else I can do."

"If I could use even half the tiger's head, I might be able to get back about three rivers. There's nothing I can do about it, man."

Tigers are really good at spending money. As much as I want to apprentice.

Is the problem Matsuhei? Only pride is for one person. They're really unusable.

"Golden liquor? It's exactly the kind of booze that produces gold for Shinsu."

"Other salmon, shiitake mushrooms, sugar, pepper, silk and cotton textiles. Various objects are entering Surugawa. Some merchants in Surugawa sell these to the realm and Kanto, which is of great benefit."

"Is the tiger giving this one a profit as well?

"Probably. It seems to benefit both Oda and Imagawa."

"Scary man. Are you willing to get bigger by giving instead of taking it away?"

The golden, clear and sweet liquor that entered the Sun Dynasty not long ago captivated the people of the Sun Dynasty. If I drank that, I wouldn't have been able to drink cloudy liquor.

And it's not just booze. Expensive textiles come in cheaper than cadmium in precious objects.

If they were allies, they would sell them at a high price. I didn't mean to sell it purposefully to the benefit of Imawa, the enemy.

"The cargo is mostly carried by Nanban ships from a long time ago. Ise's Navy crowd initially tried to take taxes, though they seemed to skirmish. With Kuyuan following Oda and also selling goods to Ise, we are now barely getting our hands on it."

"Which Michinan barbarian is no match for a cannon?

"They think it's there too."

Is it only a matter of time before the center of Ise Bay moves from Ise to Oozen?

Unless this one suppresses the Mitsugawa and stops the Nanban ship, Ise Bay's deal will be in Oda's hands.

I'm talking about the navy of greedy Ise. I would have tried to take money forcefully, but was I flexed with goods before I could beat a Nambarian ship?

If you count, you may win, but if you lose your temper and stop selling goods, you sink into trouble, and you're done.

"I'm in trouble."

"Now I think we should identify the current situation while taking in the Three Rivers."

"Wouldn't it just make the tiger bigger if we waited? When this happens, it hurts to have Takechiyo taken."

"It's all about the Three Rivers. It's not about the Imawa family."

"Hehe. Something I should have honestly obeyed the eagle."

The problem is this river. Oda took Naguno, but the story before Washi succeeded the housekeeper. There's no reason to slap Oda right now for Matsuhei.

But when this happens, I want to do it for a long time.

"People seem to have also handed it out lately and the gap is gone. But you can send me a sentence."

"It is. If you sow the seeds of discord in Oda even if you can't catch it, it will be profitable"

"Okay, so"

Even so, tigers are tough. No. Is that the same for Hojo and Takeda? Only the Three Rivers are dumb. It's not going to work.

"This is... awesome. A Nanban painting?

"Ugh. That's right."

It's Naguno's mansion, and it's training day for our minister and everyone with Nobunaga's lowest surname.

Apart from the bastards who just train like that, Nobunaga is watching Melty paint with interest.

This is a realistic oil painting with oil paint on canvas. By the way, the model has red leaves. Robot napping under a tree.

It's Melty's hobby, isn't it? An oil painting.

"Are you a painter?

"Yeah. It's just an amateur hobby."

"I've never seen a painting like this before"

"Nanban is amazing."

I've been listening to the noise and training. Everyone's coming together, but everyone sees it in Melty's paintings as if they cut the scene.

I don't think there are any Western paintings in this era. It's separate from oriental paintings, isn't it?

"Can you draw me one, too?

"Amateur. It's not for people."

"I don't mind."

"If you say so much, you have no choice. Fine."

Nobunaga, the new object lover. I just wanted it, but if I give it to you poorly, you're going to stay in the future.

The painting itself is good. As far as amateurs are concerned. I just think it will stay in the future, I wonder if it would be a little good. Not now.

Japan's first Western painting could be a drawing of Robo's nap.

"Well, this is brilliant stuff."

"Really?

"There's a painter here, but I've never seen anything like it before."

It's just time for a snack, so Jing-su came to relax with matcha tea and castella.

I didn't know you were amazing, too, Mr. Jing Soo, a cultural man. When the world is at peace, why don't you make Melty your teacher and spread it even in Western paintings?

"Can you paint a portrait of your lord?

"I told the young lady, but she's an amateur. I'm afraid so."

"I don't mind. Such a wonderful painting will surely please your lord."

Hmm. Something talked about before that, and I have a feeling more people are going to want a picture.

I honestly didn't think much about cultural aspects, but should I also think about boomerang and good culture and entertainment the other day?

You can't fool around with culture, interactions through entertainment, information transmission.

Think about it. Some forces, like the kid, are holding on to the transmission of information in this era.

Religion is the only one with connections across the country, and religion is the focus of knowledge.

You need it. A system for communicating accurate information to the people.

People don't know how they like the crowd.

It would also be a measure of Christianity and the South Barbarians.

Talk to Elle and have him think about it.

"Shades and Dogs"

It is one known as Japan's first Western painting.

The author is Kuyuan Melty.

One of the wives of Kuyu Ichima, a warlord who was active during the Warring States.

She was one of the most presumed Westerners in the Kuyuan family at the time, and a woman recognized by many warlords, including Shinsu and Nobunaga, as a brilliant figure.

So much so that it is said that the paintings she drew attracted the people of the time and later influenced history in the paintings.

The location is thought to be Kuyuan Mansion, which was located in Tsushima or Nagono, and the dog depicted is a dog owned by Kuyuan and named Robo.

The rationale for naming is uncertain, but the theory that it was taken from lobo, meaning the Spanish wolf, is given prominence.

However, the Westerners of the Kuyuan family have theories because they are uncertain about their origins and how far they have flown to the Far East.

The painting itself was inherited by Soujia Oda as a family heirloom from generation to generation along with the portrait of Lord Shinsu, and later continues to this day as the highlight of the Kuyuan Merti Memorial Museum of Art.
