(Re-enactment) Oda Nobunaga, of Nagoya, was the first to use rifles in battle in Japan in the Battle of Nagashino, 1575. He later united Japan by 1590.

this was a part of a street re-enactment held every year in Nagoya

in September. For first timers visiting, by sheer weight of the

number of people gathered to see this, it's really difficult to get

a good view, let alone a good shot (no pun intended). I hope you've

found this interesting.
