Honnoji Temple

Entrance of Honnoji Temple
ODA Nobunaga is one of the most famous samurai in Japan. Many people, especially men, would answer, "Who do you respect most?" with ODA, that man's name. He was known as a leader of great determination in the 16th century. His grave is at Honnoji Temple in Kyoto. One day I was passing through the temple precincts to go to a bus stop. Then I saw a young man in dark suit was standing in front of the grave, with his head lowered, without budging even a fraction. It looked as if he was praying before tomorrow's war at his work.
